(6-26-17) The National Alliance on Mental Illness is asking law enforcement officers to help stop Trump-care because it will lead to even more individuals with mental illnesses ending up in jails.)
From NAMI National
Dear Law Enforcement Partners,
NAMI is grateful for everything you do to support people with mental illness and their families.
Yesterday, the U.S. Senate released the Better Care Reconciliation Act (BCRA) of 2017. Like the House health reform bill, it would drastically cut Medicaid, a program that provides vital services that keep people off the streets, out of jails and in recovery.
It would also result in tens of millions of Americans losing access to mental health and substance abuse care.
This is the worst threat we’ve seen to mental health services in decades.
