Perhaps the judge will require the state to allocate funds necessary to support the needs of patients, based on plans offered by the community health houses.

The current system is total horseshit. Patients can stay in an ER for weeks or months without hope of a psychiatric bed. While they wait, outside practitioners (current therapist, psychiatrist, etc.) are barred from participating in the patient's care. If the family decides the ER stay is exacerbating whatever mental condition the patient is being held for, discharging to return home removes them from the wait-list for a psychiatric bed.

Morons have already started such proposals, in the Moron State of Florida. Indeed, the GOP-dominated legislature passed a bill that would have reduced "net metering" to save the state power monopoly from having to pay as much (or at all) for home solar power fed back to the grid. DeSantis vetoed it last April, but only after a groundswell of conservative voters rebelling. https://www.tampabay.com/news/florida-politics/2022/05/10/panhandles-anger-over-fpl-may-have-helped-spur-desantis-veto-of-anti-solar-bill/

Some terrific comedy shows in Dover and Portsmouth this weekend: https://www.donttellcomedy.com/cities/new-hampshire/

I like both Portland and Manchester, but if I were single, I'd go south to a Boston suburb instead. The pro for these areas though is that it takes pride to live and work in these old mill/wharf cities, and with it, the people tend to be more fun and funny. The music and comedy scenes are both great too.

My mom lives down in FL, so I've gotten to know the state. It has some really lovely advantages, giving a retirement village enormous right-wing clout is crazy dangerous. It's easy to ignore the present and fail to plan for the future when those plans risk upsetting an easy retirement.

If you moved from Florida, move the year up from 1962 to 2023.

Good! One of my neighbors was nearly killed by flying ice from a car on the highway. Would have orphaned 3 children.
