A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Maybe because it's a totally unserved population. Even if you can afford mental health care, which many/most can't, it's very difficult to find a doc. There's a shortage and an inability to pay.

The article mentions neither of these issues. Perhaps his irresponsible for not doing so.
The article explicitly talks about that multiple times, though. Were you reading one of the articles that this one references? It mentions repeatedly how inaccessible and unaffordable healthcare is, using both of those points, and then moves on to discuss the issue as part of a broader societal trend.
Apologies.
Huh. Guess I need to skim my pooping material better.
