Perhaps she should be the first one treated for her liberal disorder.

Brain-dead.

My otherwise conservative sister thinks mental health treatment should be widely available free. Mental health is more witchcraft than science. What exactly would you give away? Drugs? Shock treatments? Involuntary incarceration? What qualifies as needing treatment? Too fat? Mental health issue. Spend too much? Mental health issue. Believe in guns and the second amendment? mental health issue.

“When you find yourself in a hole, just keep digging.”

Classic liberal mentality. When something is not working, double down and throw more money at it.

And just how many "Bad" Business plans will now not be renewed?

The business mandate will be far more devastating to millions who will see their contributions increased by Obama.

They get to share the pain later!

Agree, but I’m not sure about her (it) having a brain.

HHS decoder:
Problems at work -> Mental Health evaluation
Problems at home -> Same
Problems with finances -> Same

Final solution:
Mental Health evaluation -> gun confiscation

Just to show everyone how invasive the whole “law” is (I use quotes because most of what is now being enforced came from “rules” that were not specified but later stipulated by the ACA.), if you have a “mental issue” you may be disqualified from certain other “rights.”

Smoking?
Driving?
Guns?
Where you live?
What you eat?
Profession?

When does going to the Shrink for your Yearly Check-up become mandatory? So we can be forced to turn in our weapons.

Ooooohhhhhh, who gets to determine what constitutes a mental illness in need of treatment.......inquiring minds need to know. Will conservatives be declared as mentally unstable and forced (through their forced insurance) into ‘treatment’?
