Ohio's Mentally ill suffer from states' budget cuts
"Sean Finan said he felt like he was drowning.

His 13-year-old daughter was in trouble, and he could do nothing to help.

The Worthington family had lost its health insurance, and Finan could not pay the $3,500-a-month tab for medicines she needed to treat her bipolar disorder and other mental illnesses."

3. They started closing down group homes and let a whole bunch of
people who really don't have the capacity to take care of themselves on their own to fend.

WTF, they don't have a voice so out of sight means out of mind.

Many of our homeless are mentally ill, out on the streets.

Sickening.
