Americans are not getting the mental health treatment they need, report says
CNN
Despite a growing need for mental health services due to the pressure of the pandemic, Americans do not get adequate access to mental health diagnoses and treatment, according to a new study of insurance data.
That is especially true for the youngest, oldest and most impoverished -- the very groups often hardest hit by the sickness, death and economic uncertainty brought on by Covid-19, the report said.Over and over at a confirmation hearing on Wednesday, Democratic senators confronted Robert F. Kennedy Jr. about controversial comments they said he had made in the past. And over and over, President Donald Trump’s nominee for secretary of health and human services either denied having said those things or said he wasn’t sure he had said them.
Investigators are intensifying their search into what caused the collision between American Airlines Flight 5342 and an Army Black Hawk helicopter, with recovery crews still working to pull wreckage from the Potomac River and initial concerns already raised about the path of at least one of the aircraft.
