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

[hadit]

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...

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

Of course it is sabotaged and obstructed in every possible way by your garbage giveaway to the rich new BS GOP... Getting pills without much support is the bare minimum. Could you stop going around and around with bologna now please? We need a civilized country instead of this unfair GOP mess.

And of course all the helpless little democrats along for the ride, squealing in terror that a Republican might look at them sideways.

 

[hadit]

Hey, IT'S RAINING!!!!

Thanks a lot, GOP!!!

And, naturally, those living outside the crazed urban centers appreciate the rain and what it can do for them.

 

[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.

.

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.

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?

They are a civilized political party, not a lying cheating stealing POS party like the new BS GOP, brainwashed functional moron. The world's laughing stock and horror. Change channel. Only your garbage propaganda makes your mess possible the worst inequality and upward mobility ever anywhere. Great job lol

"Civilized"? HAHA LOLOLOL. It is to chuckle politely that you actually seem to believe that.

 

[hadit]

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!

In the real world, the GOP is able to obstruct 99.9% of the time. Obama did pass Obamacare the greatest social reform since the 60s. Thanks in 1974 Republican filibuster and reconciliation for tax cuts and program cuts that help regular people. Yes any progress comes from Democrats. But that's all in the last 50 years crying out loud. I blame Teddy Kennedy for blocking Carter's ideas. Since Reagan total obstruction and bologna from the GOP. Now totally out of control....

Democrats have been unable to pass a living wage health care daycare paid perennial leave cheap college and training great infrastructure and vacations ID card to and illegal immigration and mainly the rich and giant corporations paying their fair share. Tax cuts for you in reality. You don't know anything factual. Change the channel read something not from Rupert scumbag Murdoch. Or internet crazies. Poor America! The silent majority is now the brainwashed loudmouth seditious majority. Your links all go to ridiculous propaganda outlets dummy. Lol

Only Republicans know how to get things done without a super-majority. Guess democrats weren't paying attention that day in Civics class.

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.

Hmmm, "GOP filibuster rule"? Might want to check with Harry Reid on that one. He's the architect of the changes we're seeing now. But of course you don't know that, you true propaganda believer, you.

well the filibuster is more the 50 years old...it dates back to the Roman Empire...and used in the USA long before the GOP existed

It's a bit different when all you have to do is say I am filibustering that. They also have another rule where one senator can stop everything. Great job!

that’s not a new rule...the senate majority leader can still bring it to the floor and allow the perso to filibuster something

as far as your other rule...what is that? never seen that...

The filler buster used to be like in Mr Smith goes to Washington where it only lasted as long as you could keep talking on the floor. Now all you have to do is say I'm filibustering it and then those being filibustered have to overwrite it with 60 votes. Lol. I wonder how that slows things down lol.

Reconciliation rule is great for cutting taxes and programs on a budget. Then they only need 51 votes and that is how the GOP has been screwing you for the last 40 years. You really should try looking around the world's media instead of just listening to garbage from Rupert Murdoch and worse on the internet. Try Google News or the BBC or France 24 or anything but Fox News the New York Post the Wall Street journal the London Sunday times and the London sun. That is the Rupert Murdock GOP echo chamber that you listen to on Fox etc etc. None of which Is respected anywhere outside your bubble of bologna.

And the helpless little democrats never could figure out how to change any of that. Silly little creatures, cute sometimes, but you keep voting for them, even though they never give you what you want.

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.

No they had 60 votes for about 25 30 days in session. Yes al franken was about 6 months late. But after Kennedy died and before the Massachusetts election and Scott Brown which I still can't believe they were so stupid in Massachusetts, they had 60 votes.

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.

And it would have been statemanship 101 to bring a handful of Republican Senators over to their side with some, you know, actual compromise and cooperation, but of course they couldn't do that. "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.

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.

well the filibuster is more the 50 years old...it dates back to the Roman Empire...and used in the USA long before the GOP existed

It's a bit different when all you have to do is say I am filibustering that. They also have another rule where one senator can stop everything. Great job!

that’s not a new rule...the senate majority leader can still bring it to the floor and allow the perso to filibuster something

as far as your other rule...what is that? never seen that...

The filler buster used to be like in Mr Smith goes to Washington where it only lasted as long as you could keep talking on the floor. Now all you have to do is say I'm filibustering it and then those being filibustered have to overwrite it with 60 votes. Lol. I wonder how that slows things down lol.

Reconciliation rule is great for cutting taxes and programs on a budget. Then they only need 51 votes and that is how the GOP has been screwing you for the last 40 years. You really should try looking around the world's media instead of just listening to garbage from Rupert Murdoch and worse on the internet. Try Google News or the BBC or France 24 or anything but Fox News the New York Post the Wall Street journal the London Sunday times and the London sun. That is the Rupert Murdock GOP echo chamber that you listen to on Fox etc etc. None of which Is respected anywhere outside your bubble of bologna.

And the helpless little democrats never could figure out how to change any of that. Silly little creatures, cute sometimes, but you keep voting for them, even though they never give you what you want.

That is the fault of the GOP propaganda machine and ignoramuses is like you. Perfect doop of the greedy idiot GOP rich.... It is getting obvious enough so that I think the Democrats can get real control pretty soon. At least we survived Trump so far. That's the way it goes forever in the United States....

You dumb fuck. It was the rich that supported Joe Dufus. The billionaires, technology mega billionaires, Wall Street and the Limosine Libtards.

These globalist billionaires love the Democrat filth.

I agree a good portion of the population needs mental health treatment. Of course you blame it all on the GOP, when in reality mental hospitals have been shut down in droves over the last several decades in blue cities and states.

By the way, what are all these other “modern countries” with “living wages” and cheap college?

It is simple... Tax Cuts... US has been cutting taxes for the last 75 years... They have now no money for Services...

As for Modern Countries

• Germany
• France
• UK
• Sweden
• Norway
• Denmark
• Finland
• Ireland
• Netherlands
• Belgium
• Switzerland
• Australia
• Italy
• Israel
• ......

All those have living wages... The main reason is they have safety nets and support like Healthcare, Education, Parental Leave, extensive social security net.... They have higher taxes but those taxes are used to help everyone, thus they have less crime especially serious crime..

German Police Used Only 85 Bullets Against People in 2011

According to Germany's Der Spiegel, German police shot only 85 bullets in all of 2011, a stark reminder that not every country is as gun-crazy as the U.S. of A.

www.theatlantic.com

That is a country 1/4 the size of US and they used 85 bullets in one year...

By the way that country Germany also ran a surplus from 2012 to 2019 and a sizeable one as well, they run a debt to GDP ration almost half of the US, They have free college and maintenance grands to poor kids, entry to college is on the students performance only and not how much there parents make... The best universities are public in Europe (not opinion, fact)...

The US used to be like this, back in the 1950s, taxes were high but they also had great services, GI bill as a good example... US used to see try and help people, the GOP policies of demeaning the poor as some some kind of twisted logic is now coming through... They try and pretend it is tough love when it is cruelty and detrimental for America.

Seems that this should be a priority for Democrats, considering...

The only thing surprising about this study is that Dems are only about twice as likely to have mental issues.

https://i.ibb.co/ZM2MnCf/democrats06.jpg

(Source

Pew study indicates leftism is LITERALLY a mental illness

Conservatives love to throw out slogans such as "liberalism is a disease" or "Trump derangement syndrome" when talking about those who adhere to a leftist worldview.

notthebee.com

So Liberals go to proper doctors and are far open about mental issues...

Are Conservative Men well known for saying that they have a mental disorder?

Just wait til next time!!! It is to laugh.

Convenient little memory purge you have going on there.

I am sorry Hillary didn't win in 2008 because I believe Barack Obama was scared to do too much and being an uppity negro. Not that it mattered with the filibuster anyway. Why don't you look at the policies that would affect your family and friends and make an intelligent decision instead of listening to phony scandals and conspiracy theories about Democrats...

I do remember that Hillary was a multiple loser, culminating in her humiliation at the hands of TRUMP!, who sent her into retirement. Good days, good days.

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.

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.

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.

No they had 60 votes for about 25 30 days in session. Yes al franken was about 6 months late. But after Kennedy died and before the Massachusetts election and Scott Brown which I still can't believe they were so stupid in Massachusetts, they had 60 votes.

Yet Republicans can figure out how to get things done with less than 60 votes. Apparently democrats can't.

I am not going to waste a lot of time on this Euro-dribble, but funny, with all that is so great in these countries, they still lag behind the US. Also, with regards to ”free” college, Democrats would HATE the system in much of Europe because it does use qualifications(grades and test scores) to determine who gets the “free” college or who goes to trade school. The Democrats don’t want this, they must include some type of diversity componnent and let less qualified people in over more more qualified ones.
