A friend of mine was on screwed in the other direction here in California. When stable, they signed over the right to commit them to me, their doctor, their spouse and their parents. We all attempted to get care for the person during a psychotic break (including talking about plans to shoot up a religious gathering - the police wouldn’t do anything even after that). As a result, they lost their job, marriage, apartment, possessions, life savings, and ended up $100K in debt. The insurance company didn’t pay a dime when they finally got help, since coverage had already lapsed. I can’t believe how broken healthcare is in the US.
