State Rep. Liz Malia is proposing a bill that would require private insurance companies to cover up to 30 days of addiction treatment.

    To mandate is harsh, if someone wanted to purchase extra insurance is more applicable.

    It is a nice thought, but it will only raise the cost of health insurance more. We need more programs to deter people from using in the first place. NOT safe places where addicts can use. That idea is sheer lunacy.
