this country wil never do this!
It costs $$$$$$.
we already dont take care of all the mentally ill that are homeless.
It will happen over and over.
do you have any idea how much mental health would cost?
the Taxpayers have already said NO every year in every state.
dream on.
The government meaning the courts and liberal lawmakers are the ones who defunded it. It wasn't a recent action it began in the late 1960 and early 70's. atients were literally booted out of secure mental health facilities. Most were harmless simply unable to care for themselves. They because street people the homeless. Others with more violent dispositions were turned out as well. Their faces show up regularly on arrest reports. Judge order them jailed 90-365 days and are released.
The real horror in this is these new patients rights laws also took families out of any say as to if a committal was needed and many times themselves became target of the violent patients wrath. In mental health family has no legal say PERIOD. You can sign for surgeries and even end of life measures for a spouse or next of kin but you can not have anyone committed the government agencies have to do that.
It's not an opposition to funding issue it is a bleeding heart liberal created disaster.
Do you know the cost to the families of those killed by these people? Do you know the cost if the gun grabbers get their way?
You just have to pass the laws with safeguards.
