Nearly 50 Percent Of Mental Health Services Recipients In Giffords' County Were Dropped In 2010


Bush helped further the lack of mental health care in this Country. This is just another example of how we are going to suffer for years to come for having eight years of Bush in office. I saw it first hand with friends who were receiving mental health help through the State which had it's Federal funding yanked. In my area alone Albemarle Mental Health stopped helping people with mental problems and allotted all of their resources to just drug and alcohol abuse and that was it. There weren't enough Psychiatri­st in the area to take on all of the extra patients that were kicked to the curb much less any that would take Medicaid or Medicare. It's time to restore funding for mental health or things are just going to get worse and Fox viewership will stay on the rise.
