I need to vent about something

[ThingsGottaChange]

I live in Iowa and here's how it now works at our local mental health center. The pdoc is only there on Wednesdays. The new rule is that people on Medicare can only see a therapist when the pdoc is physically in the building! I'm not sure if this is state legislation or what but, I can't get in to see the pdoc until the end of Sept. and you're not allowed to see a therapist until AFTER you've seen the pdoc.

So, all the people on Medicare that need mental health services can only be seen ONE DAY A WEEK! How many people desperately need help right away and are put on waiting lists for months?!?!?!?

This is insane! I'm sure it comes from the fucks in the WH. More important things to do, you know. I did have one of the people there tell me they are trying to get the legislation changed. Something about them trying to get their own provider numbers or something.

Luckily, I'm not suicidal or anything but, I sure have alot of things I need to talk to someone about SOON. But, I keep thinking about all the people that probably just give up because it's so damn hard to see anyone.

I am just sick to death about what is happening in this country. It's not even OUR country anymore. And it just keeps getting worse.

Thanks for listening!
