i recall one of the specific differences between the sanders/warren m4a plans was the snake's exclusion of mental health coverage.

obviously, the first reason for this was the profession made up a substantial portion of her donor base, but the deeper reason was that the american service economy cannot function if low-wage workers (or unemployed people) are accidentally provided with the same psycho-babble tools to cope with their workplace tensions than the bougies enjoy.

it's one thing for the pmc class to rely on therapists to reconcile their alienation and get back to "the grind," but these tools and strategies ring pretty hollow when dealing with the physical destruction of one's body on a daily basis to just barely get by. such circumstances would be radicalizing for many people. and i say this as a person who has actually seen some benefits from talky-talks, meds, etc.
