Hillary's Mental Health Agenda And Trump
Thom plus logo  Contrary to what you might think by watching cable news - Hillary Clinton is - in fact - running for president - and she's using the opportunity to put out same very detailed policy proposals.

Last week, for example, she unveiled her mental health agenda.

The purpose of this agenda - according to a statement Clinton released on her campaign's website - is to "finally [put] the treatment of mental health on par with that of physical health".

In order to do this - Clinton wants to:
- promote early diagnosis and intervention
- create a national initiative for suicide prevention
- and integrate our mental and physical healthcare systems.

She also wants to:
- boost community-based treatment
- train police officers in crisis intervention
- and place a greater emphasis on treatment over jail time for non-violent offenders.

Oh yeah - and Clinton ALSO wants to:
- enforce mental health parity "to the fullest extent of the law"
- improve access to housing and job opportunities
- and invest in brain and behavioral research.

Important stuff - but also very, very wonky stuff - which is probably why you didn't hear much about it on mainstream cable news.

CNN - MSNBC and Fox are all Trump all the time - and the traditional networks aren't much better.

There's a very simple reason for this.
