Behavioral healthcare is changing financially. Health plans have replaced independent behavioral companies in funding and managing care, and health systems are steadily acquiring behavioral providers to ensure their services are comprehensive. The emerging reality is that healthcare CFOs, who are fiscally conservative and know little about behavioral health, make funding decisions impacting the field. Future behavioral funding is shaky. For example, healthcare executives may be reluctant to accept that care access is an urgent crisis in behavioral health. They may prioritize keeping costs and utilization steady, rejecting access solutions as unnecessary and expensive. Behavioral clinicians are barely on the radar in healthcare.  Most psychiatrists work independently, and half only accept private payments. Social workers and health psychologists, the most prominent behavioral clinicians in health systems, are niche players on medical teams. While psychotherapy is well-known, some physicians dismiss it as quasi-scientific. Nonetheless, behavioral disorders are pervasive, and behavioral care has saved or improved many lives. Healthcare leaders are likely as conflicted and confused about the field as other members of the public.  Yet, these executives control behavioral healthcare’s future funding, and we need a plan based on their worldview.

Here is the litmus test for Elon, Vivek, and DOGE Obamacare ACA subsidies end at the end of 2025. It's $40B/year program that started in COVID as an EMERGENCY program to help people pay healthcare during tough times. It's been extended once. Will the administration extend these subsidies (because the government has put in place a policy during an emergency that 20M people are now dependent upon) or will they let the subsidies expire (because they truly want to reduce the deficit)? If the former, it is clear that politics will win over the deficit. If the ladder, they are truly trying to change the structure of our federal budget regardless of politics.
