Speaking as someone who has cared for loved ones and has involuntarily committed them (most recently 6 days ago): The core issue with the WhiteHouse's plan to pressure states to increase involuntary commitments is that there is a critical shortage of beds, staff and resources in most/all of the US. This has been the case for decades. There are no trustworthy indicators that a national increase in capacity is coming. In my experience, it is because governments large and small are super comfortable with sending vulnerable people to prison.
