Current Debate Regarding Funding For Mental Health

There is a current debate going on if the state and local governments earmark more funding for mental health spending. Many feel that the state and government shouldn't earmark more funding because they feel that we as citizens are already paying too much money for these programs. And feel that they receive enough funding the way it is. While others believe that they should earmark more funding. They feel that these services would be included if all states would expand their Medicaid as the affordable care act suggests. I do believe that Mental Health needs more attention in this country and the sooner we provide these services the better our society can be.
