I mean we used to have psychiatric facilities but due to abuses they just sorta got rid of them (well and the lower taxes god) instead of regulating them better.
We got rid of them in the name of small government.
It was the Neo-liberal takeover ushered in under Reagan (and has been every president since) that shuttered the doors.
A constant, soul sucking feature of Neo-liberal society is it's refusal to invest or reinvest into itself, choosing to extract as much wealth out of the working class as possible as fast as possible - short of rioting.
Its a funny thing from this crowd, they say we should run the government like a business but they never say what KIND of business. A non-profit? A ma and pop?...silence.
Infrastructure, Education, Medicine all have a positive Return On Investment (ROI), which means that the smart business decision is to pay for it all, ensuring it's thorough, properly done, and to best practices.
But that is not what neo-libs mean. They mean short term profit corporations where responsible parties go unpunished.
The literal worst system you can imagine.
