It's too early to tell what Donald Trump is going to do for the
Mentally Ill in the United States, or what he is going to do against
the Mentally Ill.
His agenda seems to be sweeping through old laws and regulations,
and beginning to prepare for the new arguments to his executive orders. He
has made clear that a mental health approach v. gun law approach is
leaning toward a mental health problem not a gun problem. I say that
it is a Criminally Ill problem, not a Mentally Ill problem.
As for health care, those in the US stand to gain and lose at the same
time. There are established insurance policies that cover mental health
expenses that I would like to see come back from Obamacare. But, I
cringe when I think of my young adult children going without coverage.
Obamacare is unjustified. There was a peaceful protest within the
healthcare system that cried foul with Obamacare in place. What that
meant is that with Obamacare, the mentally ill had to decide what was
more important, a primary physician or a psychiatrist (because with
Obamacare either you were covered for primary care or psychiatric
care, not both).
