You hear a joke like that and you begin to wonder what it would take to get adequate health care for this country. You wonder why it is that it's so hard for the mentally ill to get care. Then, perhaps, you see mental health care's inaction. Then, you realize you've asked the wrong question. You are asking how many of the downtrodden have to die.
Nobody gives a rat's ass about the mentally ill.
Not until the mentally ill begin to see who is responsible for their continued suffering, and find that person, and show up on his doorstep with their agony, and share it with him, will mental health care be available for all who need it. One of those responsible is Henry T. Harbin. It would be a violation of privacy regulations to tell you where he lives. But the company he works for is based in Maryland, and he's the only Henry T. Harbin Lycos WhoWhere lists as living in Baltimore. I think I've said enough.
