- Mental illness is not any different than physical illness in regards to importance
- The lack of coverage for mental illness patients adds to social stigma
- The Numbers- Massive amounts of Americans suffer from mental illness
- There is a direct relationship between mental illness and suicide, homelessness, and incarceration
Anti Coverage Points
- Mental illness is a "personal failing" not a disease
- Medicine is too loosly perscribed
- Coverage means more money out of public's pocket
- Some mental illnesses are not serious enough

I guess this all really depends on an individual's definition of disease. Mental illness can be treated just physical illness can be and therefore those with treatable mental illnesses should receive health care.
