The House of Energy and Commerce marked up the committee's legislative recommendations for budget reconciliation (ACA, 2018). Some medical health provisions, as the House of Energy and Commerce recommended in the budget, will fundamentally change the counseling community. The legislative issue is troubling because it impedes the appropriate treatment of substance abuse victims, the appropriate training of medical professionals, the promotion of behavioral and mental health among medical professionals, and the development of awareness campaigns aimed at first responders and medical professionals. The provisions for medical health include:

1. Setting aside $3,500,000 for treatment and prevention of substance abuse 2. Eighty million dollars should go toward training public safety officers and health professionals in mental and behavioral health. 3. Using a $20,000,000 budget to raise awareness and provide first responders and medical professionals with education. 4. Grants totaling $40,000,000 to support the mental health of healthcare professionals (Government Affairs, 2021).
