Throughout the summer, Maryland stakeholders will have an opportunity to weigh in on the many components of the Affordable Care Act implementation in Maryland. We know everyone is overwhelmed with the mammoth size of this task and the number of meetings to attend and opportunities for comment, but we urge you to get as involved as you can in one or many of the decisions being made today that will affect individuals with mental illnesses and substance use disorder for years to come.
