Great article.  Governments solutions to every problem is spend more money.  Don't think about the problem first, just spend.  Then brag about the spending but overlook the fact nothing has improved.  Another issue with the health care system in this country, and I assume it applies to mental health care as well, is the lack of drive to improve outcomes with fewer inputs.  At too many levels silo's have been built and the main driver of each silo is to protect their turf.  Outcomes matter less, far to often, than protecting the revenue and building your empire.
