The same lefties who screamed about these people not being institutionalized are the same ones who will have no problem with President HRC or any other Democrat imposing the will of the federal government on every aspect of our lives.

Having worked in a mental hospital for years it became apparent to me that most of the “mental” cases were there because of bad choices (ie drugs and alcohol). They had destroyed their bodies and minds with substance abuse. A very small percentage were actually mentally ill. They would come in, clean up, get their dental work and eyeglasses and then leave til the “next time”.
As long as these programs are funded there will be no lack of “mentally ill” freeloaders.
