Comment on How bad were the asylums that Reagan closed in his tenure? Were they really that bad? Did no one take a look at the staff and bed side manner? Or was it really like Born On The Fourth of July?

There’s a lot of reasons not to like Regan, but he did get some things right. That was one of them.

Was it though? Not that I’m saying you’re wrong about the conditions in asylums, but is abandoning the patients to be homeless on the streets really better? It feels like the right thing would have been comprehensive reform with extensive oversight.
