This is a much more developed article about the 37 year old man who lost his life in California earlier this week. In fact, the story tells a lot about about the need to support, care for, and protect the mentally ill as best any society can. And so, it is all the more troubling that the country's (and individual states') financial position might mandate cuts to these services, and even more so, that some people (and insurance policies) still fail to recognize mental health at all.

Hi Alex. I work at the front desk of a mental health facility, and it's really disturbing how many people call us up hoping to come in (or bring their kids in) for help, only to find that they can't afford to because the copay is too high, or they can't pay their deductible. These are the lucky people, the ones who have insurance. I always wonder where those people are going to be a year, or 5 years, or 10 years from now.
