1. Due to our dysfunctional system,

serial-killer insurance agencies will do anything they can to deny claims; it's how they make their money. We desperately need comprehensive Medicare for All and cut out these fscking vampires. Please ask Speaker Pelosi to support M4A also.

3. This has been a scandal in this country since Reagan empried out the mental hospitals in the US.

4. I believe most people aren't aware of this.

Every time I see the walking wounded I think about it and want to scream. But I didn't know for the longest time. I learned about it after the damage was done.

5. That's how we all learned about it. He made a big deal about shutting down dangerous and ....

outdated facility and never built anything new and at a time when most health insurance had very low maximum coverage or no coverage at all for mental health and put these people on the streets to be treated at non existent local treatment centers and the states all followed suit putting hundreds of thousand on the streets at a time when SROs were disappearing.

Its a shameful history no one knows or talks about.

The pharmaceutical industry has made billions over this.
