Biden administration says insurers are using loopholes to deny mental health care.
Insurance companies say Biden is scapegoating them and that they are already doing their best to boost access to care.
Biden administration is proposing new rules it says will make insurers comply.
The real issue, the insurance companies argue, is the lack of qualified mental health providers.
John F. Kennedy was the first president to take significant steps to achieve parity for mental health in 1961 .
Efforts to expand parity were largely at the state level until the 1990s .
The Mental Health Parity Act of 1996 required plans to cover mental health equally, but only in terms of annual or lifetime benefit maximums.
