Bill is short-sighted, harmful to people with mental illness and their families
Michigan Protection and Advocacy Service, Inc. (MPAS) today joined its fellow Protection and Advocacy (P&A) organizations across the country and the National Disability Rights Network (NDRN), in condemning H.R. 3717, recently introduced by Congressman Tim Murphy of Pennsylvania. If passed, this bill would dismantle the Protection and Advocacy program for Individuals with Mental Illness (PAIMI) by cutting its current funding by nearly 85 percent.
