8:07AM MDT: Dr. Margaret Cochran returns to talk with Dave about the latest efforts to improve mental health and substance abuse and comments on this from HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius in a blog yesterday, saying "America has come a long way in talking about mental health, yet we are still a country that too often confines mental health and addiction to the far edges of our discourse. We cannot ignore the fact that 60 percent of people with mental health conditions and nearly 90 percent of people with substance use disorders don’t receive the care they need. That is why the Affordable Care Act is so important to mental health. The health care law, along with previous parity legislation, will expand mental health and substance use disorder benefits and parity protections for 62 million Americans."

9:07AM MDT: More Open Line Time for you!
