Beyond adding resources, Buttigieg's plan attempts to address the public health effects of isolation and loneliness
The plan would deregulate buprenorphine, one of three FDA-approved medication-assisted treatments for opioid addiction, to increase access to that drug. Prescribers, under federal law, can only prescribe the medication to a limited number of patients. Buttigieg’s plan requires all private insurers and Medicare and Medicaid to cover all three forms of medication-assisted treatment. It also prioritizes research to develop treatments for other drug addictions, like methamphetamine.
It’s also unclear how Buttigieg plans to further enforce federal parity laws and require private insurance plans to cover all three forms of medication assisted treatment.Sens. Elizabeth Warren and Amy Klobuchar have both proposed $100 billion plans to combat addiction and address mental health issues.An earlier version misstated the total cost of the plan. Buttigieg's campaign later described it as about $300 billion, citing internal estimates.
