Vice President Kamala Harris has signaled that, if elected president, she’ll work to increase mental health care access — but she acknowledges that addressing what has become an increasingly complex issue could be a heavy lift.
The issue, she said in a podcast last month, “is probably one of the biggest public policy failures in our country.”
“We have acted as though the body starts from the neck down instead of understanding we need health care from the neck up,” she said during the Sept. 30 “All the Smoke” podcast hosted by former NBA players Matt Barnes and Stephen Jackson.
