I’ve already gone over this with you guys, you must not remember. What happened in the past doesn’t matter, what matters now is mostly the cost, and the idea of human rights
Has anyone here had to deal with a family member with dementia? If you want to place them in a memory care unit or a nursing home, and they don’t want to go, do you know the conservatorship process? In case you never had to deal with it, here’s how it goes:
1. Get 2 different doctors to sign off saying this person is no longer mentally competent to make medical decisions for themself
2. Hire a lawyer to prepare the paperwork for conservatorship. YOU CANNOT DO THIS YOURSELF. And you are looking at at LEAST $2,000 in legal fees
3. There will be a court date and a a process where a court will eventually grant a person or public fiduciary conservatorship
Ok? Not easy. Now repeat that process for tens of thousands of homeless people. You need to legally remove their American right to self-determination to force them into a mental health institution and that’s expensive and a hassle
When I say expensive, it’s nothing compared to the costs to house them. What’s rent looking like these days? How about rent in a Hospital building? Ever seen how expensive it is to stay overnight in a medical hospital? Now multiply that by 365 for every day of the year
That’s just rent. What about paying the nurses (because you will still need medical staff) and licensed clinical social workers to work there’s salary? Maintenance on the bullring? Liability insurance?
Who’s going to pay for that? You think private insurance companies are going to want to foot the bill for a treatment that has no end date? A treatment that promises no recovery? Fuuuuuck no
So does money printer go brrr? Or do we just go to the Democrat honeypot, the make believe solution to all the world’s problems of just stealing money from rich people?
The costs and the issue of legally removing people’s rights are the barriers nowadays in our modern society
