On April 29, 2002, Bush kicked off the whole mental health screening scheme when he announced the establishment of the New Freedom Commission (NFC) during a speech in in New Mexico where he told the audience that mental health centers and hospitals, homeless shelters, and the justice and school systems, have contact with individuals suffering from mental disorders but that too many Americans are falling through the cracks, and so he created the NFC to ensure “that the cracks are closed.”

In words relevant here, the late President Ronald Reagan aptly described government intervention this way: "The nine most terrifying words in the English language are, “I'm from the government and I'm here to help."

The best way to avoid being labelled menatally ill is to cancel any insurance coverage you have for treatment. Apparently only people with good coverage get labelled mentally ill. And when the money runs out they are miraculously cured and then released to pursue a productive life begging on freeway off ramps.
