Something else we don't have, a real mental health system.Thanks GOP

[francoHFW]

Mental illness is not a joke, the only( out front) politician I can remember who closed mental health hospitals was Ronnie Regan

The closing of insane asylums started long before Ronaldus Magnus.

Really, the start to the whole decline of nut houses really began with the discovery of Thorazine in the early 1950's. It simmered down lunatics enough that they could be safely treated on an outpatient basis.

Further psychotropic phamaceuticals later came on the market to allow even more basket cases to be treated at home or in halfway houses.

But Ronald Reagan did it more than anyone and replaced it with nothing. No sacrifice is too great to save the greedy idiots GOP rich from paying their fair share...

so 26% of Americans have mental illness

We call them "Democrats". Trump Derangement Syndrome is a serious mental health issue for our country.

Perhaps there is a connection to the 26% approximately who believe all GOP propaganda and can't change the channel for crying out loud.

Sorry this is not political this is about our crap GOP society of the last 40 years. Stress and hopelessness growing all the time...

how did reagan do that?

Tax cuts on the rich and giant corporations, and a flat tax system we have now. Giant giveaway to the rich screw job for everyone else and the country.

You can use the GOP rule of reconciliation for tax cuts and program cuts. Quite the scam

And of course the GOP filibuster rule to block anything. Quite a scam the last 50 years.

We suck at mental health. When budgets are cut, the first thing to go is mental health. A number of states have good laws on the books but they are completely unfunded and useless.

Closing mental instituations was a mixed bag - they were abusive, with people becoming deeply institutionalized, but they served a purpose that was not addressed in the massive de-institutionalizations that occurred. Most of those closings were done for budgetary reasons - and the money saved, which was supposed to go into community support - never did, leaving thousands of people unsupported and ill in communities with no facilities to help them. It sucked and it wasn't just a blue states it was red states. NC has had a lot of indepth investigative journalism on this - on how the money from the closing of big state institutions was then used for other things, not for mental health support.

Even worse are the large numbers of veterans on the street because they can't get the help they need.

Agree. Mental health is always the last ti be addressed.

Wait whut! Didn't maobamacare take care of that? They swore it did.

.

It made it better but barely. The Democrats passed Obamacare by the skin of their teeth over GOP garbage propaganda and fear mongering. I mother had it was the best social reform since the 60s along with Medicare Medicaid....

So the commies lied? maobamacare wasn't the cure all they claimed? Color me shocked, LMAO.

.

Only on Fox! Idiot

You pathetic moron.

The ACA also guaranteed access to mental health services within individual, small-group (fully insured), and Medicaid expansion plans by mandating that they cover 10 essential health benefits, including mental health and prescription drugs. It applied the MHPAEA parity requirements to these plans, and required all plans (including large-group) to cover preventive services like mental health screenings at no cost. Individual and small-group plans also must meet provider network adequacy standards.

The ACA at 10: How Has It Impacted Mental Health Care?

Almost one of five adults in America — just under 50 million people — are currently living with a mental illness. People with mental health conditions are at significantly higher risk for other health problems and complications, including substance use. Annual U.S. mental health spending is more...

www.commonwealthfund.org

ROFLMFAO

.

So Obamacare gives us the bare minimum just as we keep telling you, brainwash functional moron. Try the real world.

So you're saying they lied when they said it was guaranteed? Typical commies. Damn you're a special kind of stuid.

.

No I am saying that your ridiculous propaganda machine lied when they said Democrats said it was guaranteed....duh.

“We made parity between mental health and physical health. It was a fundamental breakthrough in how we thought about how things should work.”
Joe Biden, former vice president and 2020 Democratic presidential hopeful, in an interview with CNN’s Chris Cuomo on July 8, 2019


Obamacare went further by requiring most plans to cover mental health and substance abuse. And it extended the parity requirement beyond large-employer-sponsored coverage to plans offered by small employers and those bought on the individual market.

Health economists estimate that the ACA extended mental health benefits to 62 million people.

Biden Calling ACA A ‘Breakthrough’ For Mental Health Parity Only Highlights Gaps

Did the Affordable Care Act create equal coverage of mental and physical health? Seems true on paper but not always in practice.

khn.org

From your KHN link...

But our own reporting shows that while Biden’s claim is mostly accurate concerning the health law’s provisions, its implementation has yet to trigger the systemwide changes necessary to achieve the goal of parity.


Yeah I wonder how that happened lol

Why do you say sarcastically, "Thanks GOP"? It's known to everyone that closing all the state hospitals for the insane was a totally leftwing thing, and it's of a piece with all the other anti-law and order stuff they cram into our sadder and sadder way of life, as the crazies and criminals take over everything.

Rahm Emanuel closed half of Chicago’s mental health clinics. What was the impact — and will Lightfoot reopen them?

Few issues in recent Chicago history have been as contentious as former Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s decision to close half the city’s mental health clinics, and now Lori Lightfoot will inherit…

Many thanks to the GOP for their corrupt real estate bubble and bust in 2008 and obstruction of funding for everything the last 30 years lol. Because no sacrifice is too great to save the greedy idiot rich GOP brain washers and their corporate masters from paying their fair share. Change the channel.

If you want a living wage find a better paying job like something a smart person would do.

Everyone who has a job should have some dignity, brainwashed functional moron. We can't go west young man anymore, that has backed up and we have to grow up and be civilized now. Everyone wants to do better and we should help them instead of making college and training ridiculously expensive and jobs not worth taking.

When will you start paying skilled workers what they think they are worth? 300.00 an hour should do

Helping those in need should be at the top of the list for a country aspiring to be great again. Now that we have a decent human being as president after this four year trump disaster, it might happen.

Nah, you commies would rather give the money to illegal aliens.

94% of illegal male adults work. They don't get welfare they just get free lunches at school for the kids. Always good to get the brainwashed functional racist Outlook.

so 26% of Americans have mental illness and there is really no mental health system. Just pills. Just might have something to do with all these killings and insanity on airplanes etc etc.

So why are we the only modern country without a living wage health care daycare paid parental leave cheap college and training great infrastructure and vacations ID card to end illegal immigration? No sacrifice is too great to save the greedy idiots from paying their fair share.

An estimated 26% of Americans ages 18 and older -- about 1 in 4 adults -- suffers from a diagnosable mental disorder in a given year. Many people suffer from more than one mental disorder at a given time. In particular, depressive illnesses tend to co-occur with substance abuse and anxiety disorders.

The only thing the Democrats have passed in the last 50 years has been Obamacare.... Time to junk the filibuster get some things done for crying out loud...

They don't get welfare they just get free lunches at school for the kids.

Most Illegal Immigrant Families Collect Welfare - Judicial Watch

Surprise, surprise; Census Bureau data reveals that most U.S. families headed by illegal immigrants use taxpayer-funded welfare programs on behalf of their American-born anchor babies.Even before the recession, immigrant households with children used welfare programs at consistently higher rates...

www.judicialwatch.org

Look into it and they are totally full of it. They are talking about school lunches and welfare for children who are citizens maybe. At any rate illegal immigrants work like hell and look for very little help. But carry on with the racist crap propaganda.

Funny how you never bring a link, just lies. And when someone brings a link proving you are a liar all you can do is lie and claim they are wrong............without bringing a link proving they are wrong.

One can only conclude you are a serial liar.

Too bad you have no examples that stand up in the real world.

Funny how you never bring a link, just lies. And when someone brings a link proving you are a liar all you can do is lie and claim they are wrong............without bringing a link proving they are wrong.

One can only conclude you are a serial liar.

Your ridiculous sources are the only ones lying dingbat. Everything I say is well known in the real world and I have given you links from reputable sources.

It's quite comical you think you can refute facts backed up with links by bleating "NUH-UH!"

Links to crap propaganda are crap du h. You are the laughing stock and horror of 95% of the world easily. The welfare you speak of is mainly school lunches lol. The rest is for children who are citizens. 94% of illegal adult males work, 65% pay taxes and 35% own homes. A little organization and we could have 100% paying taxes. Then we need an ID card the only solution to stop that whole mess, just like every other modern country with the problem doh. Your GOP Masters love cheap easily bullied labor.

Why haven't the democrats done anything about it when they were in power? And don't try to pretend they haven't had any power in the last 40 years. Hey, they're in power now, what do you think they're going to do about this? The last I saw, Quid Pro has a problem on his hands with more people flooding in than we can handle, but he won't close the gates.

Where's Quid Pro's ID card?

For 40 years the Democrats have been blocked on everything by the 1974 GOP filibuster, brainwash functional moron. Except when they had 60 votes for Obamacare. While they have used reconciliation to cut taxes on the rich and giant corporations. All they care about, dip s**t.

First, where's Quid Pro's ID card? Show me the speech he made where he rolled out the proposal. Show me the legislation written in the House (where there is no filibuster). Show me the democrat Senators swearing to force a real filibuster with locked chamber doors and people yammering away at the podium for 18 hours straight. Show me more than your vapid insistence that it's there, we can't see it, we just have to believe it.

The 2010 Democratic immigration bill started out with an ID card but of course according to the Republicans that is communism right there lol. That's why the ID card never goes anywhere d u h. There is a great opportunity now to have a work ID that also would be a voting status ID. Of course it would cost quite a bit of money because for voting you have to go and find people and give them one. Except among Republicans, voting is the main attraction of democracy....

Quid Pro is in charge. Where is his bill? Where is he pushing the idea? He can get this done, now. Naturally, he won't, and also naturally, you won't hold him or democrats accountable for the failure. They control everything, so here's their chance.

Pretty sure Veggie Joe's handlers don't want him talking about mental health.

He'll get to it when he can, after 40 years of GOP garbage giveaway to the rich and screw job for everyone else, there is so much to do. And then there is Joe Mancin of West Virginia the dope...

Oh, so democrats have finally found some balls in the failing health of Quid Pro Joe? Now they're ready to take action, even though they've had plenty of opportunities and did nothing?

No they never had an opportunity, never had 60 volts except in the middle of a goddamn corrupt GOP bubble and bust world depression for crying out loud. They had three weeks of 60 votes in session in 50 years. Of course you are missinformedformed about that too.

Actually the democrats didn't even have that 3 weeks.

If you remember the republican governor of Minnesota at the time allowed the republicans to prevent the democrat who honestly won from taking his seat until July 2009.

By then, yes they had 60 democrats.

They didn't have 60 democrats sitting in those seats voting.

Two of them were in the hospital dying.

In fact, the republican filibuster of Obamacare forced Senators Byrd and Kennedy to leave the hospital to come to vote on that bill.

Then they left and died. When Massachusetts had an election to replace Kennedy, they elected a republican. Who by the way, when he had to run for a full term, he lost to the democrat.

So while yes there were technically 60 democrats, the democrats didn't have the needed 60 votes to over come the republican non stop filibuster on all bills.

 

[Dana7360]

Must be the 26% who vote Democrat through thick and thin no matter what drek their party digs up, who despite decade after decade of democrat rule, only finds REPUBLICANS responsible for his lacking mental health needs! The true MEASURE of a dipsy doodle space bird!

Try a real news media

Sure, right, Dipsy Doodle Space Bird! Duck, dodge and run from the real topic at hand yet again! The Democrats never do SHIT, yet there you are pounding for them like another useful idiot while railing against the GOP like a good little pundit no matter HOW good the GOP policies are!

The Dems must control policy I bet 85% of the time yet I can never find any of all the good they ever do for us!

Tell me a good GOP policy laugh out loud. Why do they have a corrupt bubble and bust every time they get eight years like 1989 2008 and 2019? Why do they start the stupidest wars ever and allow bologna like 9/11 which could have been avoided in several ways. If they had been paying attention to something besides deregulating the real estate market. How does that work out? They suck! All they have is propaganda now. Should Trump be shot for losing Hong Kong? Or you didn't hear about that. Poor America.

Wrong on the destruction of our economy.

Reagan lowered taxes in 1981. It sent us into what was at the time the worst economic recession since the last republican Great Depression. He did it at the beginning of his first term. So he took out the nation's credit card and spent like there was no tomorrow.

Then came the first george bush. Who took an already weak economy to again what was at the time the worst economic recession since the last republican Great Depression. He had our economy on the verge of collapse in 1992. Everyone remembers the campaign slogan from that year.

IT'S THE ECONOMY STUPID.

Clinton cleaned up the mess.

The bush boy destroyed it. He collapsed the economy and took us into what was at the time the worst economic recession since the last republican Great Depression.

Obama cleaned the mess up.

trump destroyed it. He took us again to the worst economic recession since the last republican Great Depression.

Joe Biden was elected to clean the mess up.

We have to wait and see the results of his policies but if the results are the same as most of the rest of the democratic presidents, he should succeed.

My question is when will America learn?

 

[hadit]

Mental illness is not a joke, the only( out front) politician I can remember who closed mental health hospitals was Ronnie Regan

The closing of insane asylums started long before Ronaldus Magnus.

Really, the start to the whole decline of nut houses really began with the discovery of Thorazine in the early 1950's. It simmered down lunatics enough that they could be safely treated on an outpatient basis.

Further psychotropic phamaceuticals later came on the market to allow even more basket cases to be treated at home or in halfway houses.

But Ronald Reagan did it more than anyone and replaced it with nothing. No sacrifice is too great to save the greedy idiots GOP rich from paying their fair share...

so 26% of Americans have mental illness

We call them "Democrats". Trump Derangement Syndrome is a serious mental health issue for our country.

Perhaps there is a connection to the 26% approximately who believe all GOP propaganda and can't change the channel for crying out loud.

Sorry this is not political this is about our crap GOP society of the last 40 years. Stress and hopelessness growing all the time...

Define fair share.

.

To them, it.means total confiscation of their wealth and assets.

Off the wall, brainwashed functional moron
... People are so ridiculously wealthy these days I'm for 90% over 100 million lol. I'm sure you don't understand the question at all being a GOP doop.

You are NOT entitled to their money, asshole.

The country is entitled to their fair share in taxes. Keep voting for greedy assholes that lie to you nonstop, brain washed functional moron. Then we could invest in our infrastructure and people again after 30 yearsOf GOP give away to the rich. Sorry you missed that lol....
....

So the GOP has controlled the House, the Senate and the Presidency for 30 years?
That should surprise Clinton and Obama. I believe that the Dems controlled all 3 branches at one time during those years.

Shhhh, you weren't supposed to notice that. You were supposed to believe the mantra that Republicans always control everything.

 

[hadit]

Helping those in need should be at the top of the list for a country aspiring to be great again. Now that we have a decent human being as president after this four year trump disaster, it might happen.

Nah, you commies would rather give the money to illegal aliens.

They could have easily overcome it just by insisting on a real filibuster.

"They can come along for the ride but have to sit in the back of the bus" and other famous democrat attitudes. Apparently, only Republicans know how to get things done with less than a super majority. Democrats are helpless.
