i can't figure out the mental health parity thing...

is it... 'comperable treatment for comperable conditions' or something like that? how do you compare HIV with schizophrenia? depression with cancer? what is the relevant measure of comparison? fatality? i don't understand...

is excluding mental health conditions allowable so long as 'comperable' non-mental health conditions are similarly excluded? are SSRi's more like plastic surgery or diabetes medication? neurology is excluded already... if neurological conditions are thought to be 'comparable' to mental health conditions my policy has treatment parity already: namely, BOTH are comperably excluded...
