I think that's a delimna for people with MI not taking their meds Those for this bill ie TAC and National Alliance for the Seriously Mentally ill contend MI people don't take their meds because of lack of insight of being MI. They don't take in consideration many MH consumers don't take meds because of the intolerable side effects. National Alliance etc is a Facebook group run by DJ Jaffe He is an associate of E. Fuller Torrey. Speaking of Torrey I knew a consumer who thought of him as E. Full of Himself Torrey. Love that!!!
