3. They're right. It's an expanding public health crisis from several directions and for several reasons

When the entire population is being terrorized in a country with ridiculously paltry mental health, child health and maternal health plus preventive and supportive healthcare systems like drugs, rehab, community outreach programs. This errodes support for all populations from all.

Systems which could be overflowing with funds for care are instead being destroyed. While they take our funds, over fund the agency creating and exacerbating the dangers that threaten life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness creating a pervasive public health crisis.

Pitting one need of a citizenry against the other creates unnecessary competitiveness and destroys community cohesiveness and creates a sick society.
