Mental health care may be harder to obtain after HHS rule reversal- Trigger warning! This discusses suicide and overdose

[Mike 03]

5. If I'm understanding this correctly:

We are going to make it yet more difficult for Americans to receive mental health care at exactly the same time as we:

Throw a huge number of them into poverty by destroying the social safety net.

Throw 12 million of them off of health care.

Close a bunch of rural hospitals.

Close one quarter of all homes for the elderly and assisted living facilities, and lay people off from the ones that survive.

Remove all the mechanisms the country has to predict, prevent and make people whole again following natural disasters like hurricanes, floods and wildfires.

Make most everything more expensive.

Lay a lot of Federal Workers off, and many other people who work in science and clean energy.

To say nothing of eroding our education system and, more importantly, making it cost prohibitive and riskier to get loans for it.

I'm sure there a hundred things I'm forgetting.
