  1. I love it! They are closing long-term care mental hospitals like Reagan did in the 80's to save money. Some of them might move on to better places, get taken in by family, some will undoubtedly end up homeless. If you make it into a hospital, they kick you out real quick if they find out you don't have insurance. 99% of mental health care that is given is pushing pills with major side effects after talking to the person for 5 minutes. A psychiatrist who cares enough to talk is almost impossible to find or afford. Guns---they're cheap and easy to obtain. Then we are shocked to find there are shootings and abuse the mentally ill homeless.
