America's Healthy Future Act of 2009 is the current healthcare bill being debated in the United States Senate. One of its stated goals is mandating mental health treatment be fully covered by health insurance companies (or by the government itself) for every American citizen. A citizen who chooses not to purchase such mandated health care coverage would be subject to yearly fines of up to $3,800 per family or $750 per individual.
