President Trump’s attack on mental health care isn’t just bad policy — it’s dangerous. His administration wants to gut the federal law that ensures insurance covers mental health like any other care. If he succeeds, millions could lose access to therapy, addiction treatment, and psychiatric care.
At the same time, Republicans in Congress are trying to slash Medicaid, the backbone of mental health services for low-income and rural communities. Entire counties could be left without a single provider.
One in five adults struggles with mental illness each year. Cutting coverage now will cost lives.
Congress must act — immediately. Lawmakers should block Trump’s rollback, defend mental health parity, and protect Medicaid. Anything less is unacceptable.

For 6 years i sat on the board of directors for Livingston County CMH on Latson Rd. I served on the finance board It was one of the best experiences I’ve enjoyed, It’s let me give back to my community. In my carrier I became a Master Color chemist for Automotive coatings I was in charge of both G.M. and Fords elastameric colors. I formulated both companies products. As well as container coatings and industrial finishes.
Working with consumers was far more enjoyable and teaching let me connect with people and the public. I GOT STUCK IN THE CORPORATE WORLD
each week I came out with 3 colors that contradict for 1 million each and service d 13 assembly plants in the U.S and Canada
First our country closed all the mental institutions. NOW THERE ATTACTING THE CMH’s There using prisons and security companies. As proxies.
America was the last bastion of civility
America is now setting up our future for failure. Our Children and Grandchildren will be the ones most effected by Incompetent leadership.
