Mitt Romney has promised to work to repeal 'Obamacare' if elected. For the 40 million Americans who have a mental illness, it could mean losing health coverage.One in five Americans over age 18 suffers from a diagnosable mental illness in any given year. That's upward of 40 million potential voters. So why have we heard virtually nothing about mental health care from either candidate during this campaign?
