If only a political party hadn’t spent so much time and money trying to undermine Obamacare to bring us to these points... if only a political party had actually cared about farmers enough to propose a simplified single-payer system... if only.

EXACTLY! Mental health care is health care. Plain and simple! It should be covered.
