i believe Reagan did that.....
I imagine you, like many people in today's dumbed-down America, believe a lot of things that aren't true.

No President had anything to do with releasing mental patients. That would be State and federal laws passed BY predominately Democratic Congreses and legislatures after liberals won in court forcing laws to be changed.
Now most people that probably should be institutionalized can't be and insurance doesn't have to pay.
I know when I was sick and went in for mental problems 6 to 7 days was about the max the Insurance would pay for. To stay longer took some pretty major work by doctors and sometimes the Courts.
