Lauren - That's a really good point to bring up regarding the Parity Laws. If anyone is interested in learning more about Parity, this is a well written document, imho, by the National Mental Health Association. It requires Adobe Acrobat since it's a PDF file. It's 32 pages long, but you can just pick out the parts you are interested in from the Table of Contents.
