So far as I know, pretty much the same all over the US, with similar patients' rights concerns. But also because Regan shut down a lot of the facilities, which is why there were so few homeless people when I was a kid -- society took care of those who couldn't do for themselves -- and now they are at every major intersection with hand-lettered signs asking for money. Well, at least I'm not at that low point yet.

Yeah, I guess any kind of help is a longshot.
