I always wonder what 'family and traditional values' are supposed to be...

The reason they seem opposed to parity is the following:

> nightmare disorder, caffeine-induced sleep disorder, caffeine intoxication, sibling relational problems, academic problems, substance-induced sexual dysfunction, and pedophilia.

So...

What is the mental health parity argument again? ALL psychiatric disorders should receive unlimited funding... Or... What?

Would we spend thousands on treating a 45 year old woman who can't conceive (infertility)?

Of course we wouldn't. No matter how distressing she found her infertility to be.

The idea is to treat like as like. The trouble is everything is alike in some respects and not alike in others. What are the relevant likenesses? An interesting issue...

It is an empirical issue whether health parity would save the country money.

But really, I don't understand what treatment parity even means.
