Abstract

Medicaid has had an enormous impact on the shape and impact of public mental health care. Medicaid mental health policy has expanded access, fostered consumerism, and created incentives for expansion of community-based providers. It also has dramatically changed the economic rules governing public mental health care, leading state governments to alter their behavior. The result has been a tilting of public mental health care toward Medicaid-covered people and services.
