Isn't that the point of the original comment that started all this? You can't simply shove a band aid on top of the mental health problem and expect it to magically get better in a year. This is a complex problem that will require a complex long term solution which will itself take a while to show results.
- micromacrofoot 4y ago"Government insurance won't help the situation because other problems also exist" isn't a reason against government insurance. We should have government insurance, and if that creates problems, we should fix those too. It's not unusual for a solution to exacerbate another problem, which can often get it fixed more quickly. If government insurance were to create a shortage of mental health care workers, then one way or another we need to get to more mental health care workers. It would be nearly impossible to wait for a proper number of employees before giving everyone coverage. You'd end up with an excess of supply.
- marcinzm 4y ago>You'd end up with an excess of supply. There's already a lack of supply.
- micromacrofoot 4y agoYeah but it's an entirely separate problem. If you solved the supply for the current demand, and then gave everyone access... you wouldn't have immediate supply anyway. What's the point of waiting?
