This sounds like bad news to me... especially the bit about treatment compliance. I know a lot of people (myself included) have had difficulties with medication and I'm concerned that forcing people to comply with treatment is not only a breach of basic rights, it could result in a lot of mistreated individuals. For example, about a year ago my only option of a psychiatrist put me on a medication that made me very sick and increasingly depressed. Because I had no way to get a second opinion, I had to deal with her negligence for several months. I've very certain that there will be a lot more people with similar experiences if this bill is implemented. There is just no way to ensure that people will be on the right medication or have competent providers.
Thanks for this!
