Cha-Ching!!!
Perhaps she should be the first one treated for her liberal disorder.
Brain-dead.
When you find yourself in a hole, just keep digging.
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.
they are doing their best to foment revolution here.
“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.
The business mandate will be far more devastating to millions who will see their contributions increased by Obama.

Oh goodie! I’ll use my Øbamaphone to get my Øbamacare, go on a real bender, then take a few weeks vaca at Passages Malibu!
I can just imagine who will be sent to mental clinics.

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’?
