With care available, maybe he'd have gone in when he first felt himself slipping into insanity. Maybe not.

However, we can't afford not having medical and mental health care available to people who need it, not just the rich.

It's costing us too much.

...the characterization of the mentally ill as imbeciles and mental health care as freudian psychoanalysis is a little off the mark.

This might be a great place to begin, analyze the chemicals we are exposed to everyday to see which ones are killing us and which ones just alter our minds. Less the 10% of the chemicals in the American workplace have been tested.

We DON'T have the greatest healthcare in the world.
