If you want to screw the ACA, do you want the disabled to be charged more for insurance than others?

31. Every state has Community Mental Health Center block grants.

Believe me, I know, because I was having to get my treatment through the recipient of those Block Grants after I was discharged from the hospital in late 2013. They all accept Medicaid -- it was only when my disability was approved and I went off of ACA-established Medicaid that their costs became prohibitive -- the therapist I was seeing wasn't licensed so Blue Cross wouldn't cover it, and therapy was required to receive medication. I found another psychiatrist and therapist that did accept Blue Cross, and have been receiving my medication and therapy through there. That was actually more challenging than getting accepted into the clinic that received the CMHC block grant for my county.

I know it's difficult to navigate the system, but the help is there.

(Edit: I'm not blaming the woman, or her son, but this is my advice to any psych patient who runs out of meds and can't get to their doctor -- immediately go to the nearest ER and check yourself in.)
