If only the seriously ill were studied, the violence figures would be much higher. They limit the study to seriously ill people coming out of hospitals thereby eliminating people who are jailed, killed, suicided, in shelters, or homeless. Again, the effect is to create artificially low violence statistics. Support pharmacological research and community programs aimed at cutting down on the violence. Improve the quality of programs so consumers want to get into them, rather than escape from them.
Insurance is expensive.
Rather than arguing that coverage is cheap, argue that the issue is discrimination. If insurance companies really want to cut costs, they would make caps, co-payments, length of stay limits, etc. apply to everyone. Instead, they discriminate. Show how this insurance company discrimination is foisting the cost of medical care for these individuals on the public purse. The benefits of research at Psychiatric Institute in New York, never reaches the people who need it.
