AAGP Legislative and Regulatory Agenda 2007-2008
The AAGP Board of Directors has adopted a Legislative and
Regulatory Agenda to articulate the public policy goals of
the organization throughout the 110th Congress (2007-2008).
AAGP's legislative and regulatory goals are comprehensive
and encompass access, quality, research, and education. AAGP
is committed to ensuring quality mental health care for all,
especially the elderly. Mental health parity is key to a sound
and effective health care delivery system. Individuals with
mental disorders must be able to afford the same quality of
health care as individuals with physical ailments. Additional
funding for research on mental illness in older adults is
essential for meeting the needs of the nation's aging population,
and AAGP believes that this priority must be addressed even
in the face of expected budget constraints.
The Agenda is available below as PDF documents. The main
text and appendices are available as separate PDFs.
