It seems to me that the mental health situation is one in which as usual anything that is being proposed is "after the fact". People were "let go" from institutions evidently with either no or not enough follow up. The result was people out on the streets either not cured or not taking prescribed medicines but since they were no longer institutionalized they often got into trouble and then lawyers came to their rescue and made sure they couldn't be treated if they chose not to be. A never ending situation as it stands today but of course now "after the fact" the government will likely over react.
