S. 3921 wants to help states pay more for doctors and helpers who take care of people’s feelings and worries by giving them extra money if they spend more on these helpers. The states must use this extra money to make sure the doctors and helpers are better paid and happier in their work, helping them do a great job.

The bill wants to make it cheaper for people using TRICARE to visit doctors when they need help with their feelings or minds, making it cost the same as seeing a regular doctor. It also wants to keep the cost of seeing special doctors the same as it was a few years ago, but only for one year, and then check to see how well these changes worked.

In November and December 2024, people in the United States will spend a whole month remembering families who lost someone to violence, trying to understand their pain, and talking about how to help them feel better. They want everyone to know that it's important to support these families and work together to make sure fewer people get hurt.
