Trump mental health disaster

[AntiTrump]

1. President Donald Trump deflected the blame for the massacres away from firearm access, saying, “Mental illness and hatred pulls the trigger, not the gun.”


2.Trump has taken repeated action during his presidency to restrict Americans’ access to health care, including mental health care.

3.
Trump Blames Shootings on Mental Illness. But He’s Spent the Past 2 Years Trying to Cut Access to Health Coverage.


4.The Trump administration has worked to roll back the ACA and insurance regulation, moving in the direction of less coverage of mental health, not more.


5.
The Obama rule that Trump nullified had added people receiving Social Security checks for mental illnesses and people deemed unfit to handle their financial affairs to the national background check database.

Had that rule taken effect, the Obama administration predicted it would have added 75,000 names to the national background check database.

 

[EvilCat Breath]

He's right.

 

[B. Kidd]

Mental Health has always been a disaster in our country.
Especially after Jimmah Carter and the Democrats deinstitutionalized in the late 1970's.

Yeah, and if Obama hadn't fucked with the school system about profiling, those in Broward County would still be alive. Amazing how those on the left, deny the fact that over this last weekend 7 people died in Chicago and another 39 were injured. Why dont we hear about those? Because it is black on black, and doesnt fit the liberal narrative. Thanks for playing. There is a cancer in the world, it is called Liberalism, and until it is removed from society, it will continue to kill people.

At least 46 people were shot in Chicago over the weekend, including seven who were killed

1. Hate to break it to you, Waldo—guns don't squeeze their own triggers. Unless of course we're talking automated turrets. We're not, are we? Common sense got you by marionette strings again? You calling mass shooters sane? Hate free? You should get that looked at.

2. Links. Prove it. Forget using Wikipedia, either.

3. Same as #2. Whoops!

4. Can you beat that dead horse more. Neigh?

5. When all else fails rub the government lamp and make three wishes to the djinn that floats out of it, right?

6. One last time for the hearing impaired illiterates; the two most recent shooters would have passed background checks for firearms. Oops!

Mental Health has always been a disaster in our country.

1980
President Jimmy Carter signs the Mental Health Systems Act of 1980, which dedicates $800 million over four years in grants to expand community mental health services.

part of that act was to allow mentally ill people to not be put in asylums but be with their family. 39 years later we see the results.

I know for a fact, that crazy people were let out under Carter, because next thing you knew, during holloween kids started having razor blades and needles in their candy. Since then, we have seen more and more, show up and half of Congress is bat shit crazy, most wore white in the President Address.

Trump Blames Shootings on Mental Illness.

Great, lets see that everyone has health care coverage that covers mental health.

Trump: NO that's Socialism. Besides, how would I then pay for my bailouts?

JFK actually started the trend, Byt the late 1980's state mental institutions were shutting down or shut down. Housing mental patients was/is expensive. And there were questions of abuses and more. The most violent need to be locked up. And many are in prison. There are mental patients who become better then get worse. Can be locked up in extreme diagnosis then improve and given much more freedom at mental institutions at the time. Some went into public areas and snapped on people as diagnosis was wrong or patient suddenly changed or reverted to his/her worse problem.

The Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (OBRA) is the statute that repealed President Carter’s Mental Health Systems Act which was supposed to continue federal funding for mental health programs. Reagan gave the appearance of making a consequentialist ethical decision because he presented his repeal of OBRA as an action that would best serve American society and do more good than harm as a result. The OBRA gave mental patients a choice to seek treatment outside of a mental institution, an option to seek treatment at clinics at the state level, and the freedom to administer their own medication (PSY533, 2017) (Pan, 2013). However, Reagan was hasty in taking unsound advice to repeal OBRA because his real motive was to cut the federal budget (Roberts, 2013). He was a leader who “never exhibited any interest in the need for research or better treatment for serious mental illness” (Torrey, 2017).

When lefties say "mental health services" they mean shove a bunch of antidepressants down some hyperactive white boy's throat. Which is one of the main contributors to the problem in the first place.

Stipulating - strictly for the sake of argument - that your pile of bullshit post is true, what do righties mean when they say "mental health services"?

Yeah, and if Obama hadn't fucked with the school system about profiling, those in Broward County would still be alive. Amazing how those on the left, deny the fact that over this last weekend 7 people died in Chicago and another 39 were injured. Why dont we hear about those? Because it is black on black, and doesnt fit the liberal narrative. Thanks for playing. There is a cancer in the world, it is called Liberalism, and until it is removed from society, it will continue to kill people.

At least 46 people were shot in Chicago over the weekend, including seven who were killed

He sponsored successful efforts to expand children's health care, create a plan to provide equal health care access for all Illinois residents, and create a "Hospital Report Card" system, and worker's rights laws that protected whistleblowers, domestic violence victims, equal pay for women, and overtime pay.[28]


2.His most public accomplishment was a bill requiring police to videotape interrogations and confessions in potential death penalty cases. Obama was willing to listen to Republicans and police organizations and negotiate compromises to get the law passed.[38] That helped him develop a reputation as a pragmatist able to work with various sides of an issue.[27] Obama also led the passage of a law to monitor racial profiling by requiring police to record the race of drivers they stopped.[39][


3.During his first years as a state senator, Obama was a co-sponsor of a bill that re-structured the Illinois welfare program into the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families(TANF) program. He also helped get various pieces of legislation that established a $100 million Earned Income Tax Credit for working families, increased child care subsidies for low-income families, and required advance notice before mass layoffs and plant closings passed.[28]

“Trump Blames Shootings on Mental Illness. But He’s Spent the Past 2 Years Trying to Cut Access to Health Coverage.”

Conservatives can’t have it both ways.

They can’t blame ‘mental illness’ for gun violence yet deny citizens access to affordable mental healthcare.
