1
00:00:11,177 --> 00:00:12,812
Well, Like so many Americans,

2
00:00:12,812 --> 00:00:17,050
my family and my friends have faced
mental health challenges.

3
00:00:17,350 --> 00:00:19,986
And so, you know,
I think that there's very few families

4
00:00:19,986 --> 00:00:23,423
and very few workplaces or communities
that can't say that.

5
00:00:23,723 --> 00:00:27,060
And I think one of the things
that I've seen is even as we've made

6
00:00:27,460 --> 00:00:30,263
advances in the ability
to treat mental health,

7
00:00:30,997 --> 00:00:33,400
the actual delivery of that treatment,

8
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:37,871
the affordability and the accessibility
has often lagged behind.

9
00:00:37,904 --> 00:00:42,075
And so one of the things I've been
really focused on is trying to make sure

10
00:00:42,242 --> 00:00:47,313
that insurers, that providers are actually
delivering on mental health care.

11
00:00:47,347 --> 00:00:49,783
When I moved to Orange County
ten years ago,

12
00:00:50,316 --> 00:00:55,422
there were no pediatric
mental health beds in the entire county.

13
00:00:55,889 --> 00:00:58,391
And as I said, you might think,
well, it's just a county.

14
00:00:58,658 --> 00:01:02,162
Orange County is bigger than like
20 some states,

15
00:01:02,495 --> 00:01:05,265
and yet we had no pediatric
mental health beds.

16
00:01:05,565 --> 00:01:08,568
And so although that's changed
with leadership of our children's

17
00:01:08,568 --> 00:01:12,872
hospital over time, it really goes
to show you how difficult it is

18
00:01:13,506 --> 00:01:17,077
to be able to find mental
health care as well as afford it.

19
00:01:17,310 --> 00:01:19,813
And so when I talk about people
being healthy,

20
00:01:20,013 --> 00:01:22,682
I mean healthy in every
aspect of their lives.

21
00:01:22,949 --> 00:01:25,318
Both physical and mental health.

22
00:01:32,092 --> 00:01:35,228
Well, talking to different people about
their experiences, one of the great

23
00:01:35,228 --> 00:01:39,132
things about being a congressperson is
people share their life stories with you.

24
00:01:39,165 --> 00:01:41,034
They share their frustrations with you.

25
00:01:41,034 --> 00:01:45,105
And I think one of the amazing things
that we've seen the disability community

26
00:01:45,105 --> 00:01:49,609
do, over my lifetime,
as I was born in the era of the ADA.

27
00:01:49,742 --> 00:01:50,977
I grew up in Iowa.

28
00:01:50,977 --> 00:01:52,545
Tom Harkin was my senator,

29
00:01:52,545 --> 00:01:56,416
I can remember what a big deal it
was to have the ADA pass.

30
00:01:56,416 --> 00:02:00,320
As we've seen the stigma reduced and more
and more people feel like

31
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:03,356
they can talk about their frustrations
and their challenges,

32
00:02:03,990 --> 00:02:06,392
what they could accomplish,
what they couldn't get,

33
00:02:06,392 --> 00:02:10,130
in terms of wellness,
and what they often are falling short on.

34
00:02:10,130 --> 00:02:12,565
And so, you know I started
talking to different people.

35
00:02:12,565 --> 00:02:14,567
I started looking at things,

36
00:02:14,567 --> 00:02:17,871
you know talking to psychiatrists
in our community, psychologists,

37
00:02:17,871 --> 00:02:21,975
social workers, schools, teachers,
and hearing about their challenges.

38
00:02:21,975 --> 00:02:25,345


39
00:02:25,812 --> 00:02:28,081


40
00:02:28,248 --> 00:02:32,452


41
00:02:38,925 --> 00:02:43,129


42
00:02:43,163 --> 00:02:47,400


43
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:50,470


44
00:02:50,670 --> 00:02:55,942


45
00:02:55,942 --> 00:03:00,513


46
00:03:00,547 --> 00:03:05,852


47
00:03:05,852 --> 00:03:09,189


48
00:03:09,189 --> 00:03:13,159


49
00:03:13,159 --> 00:03:17,163


50
00:03:17,397 --> 00:03:20,333


51
00:03:20,433 --> 00:03:22,902


52
00:03:23,336 --> 00:03:25,505


53
00:03:25,939 --> 00:03:30,076


54
00:03:30,310 --> 00:03:34,380


55
00:03:34,847 --> 00:03:35,715


56
00:03:35,715 --> 00:03:39,452

00:03:39,619 --> 00:03:43,890

00:03:46,025 --> 00:03:47,894


60
00:03:47,894 --> 00:03:49,896

00:03:50,330 --> 00:03:51,931
