The author suggests that distribution of mental health manpower, underserved consumer needs and potential utilization, and control of quality and effectiveness of mental health service are issues that should be addressed through a national health insurance program. A functional job analysis, public service incentive program, and linkage of insurance benefits to an improved system of mental health delivery, training, and evaluation are proposed
