Step Right Up, Citizen, For Your Federally Mandated Mental Health Screen
A panel that makes recommendations to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has issued a report recommending that all Americans have mental health screenings.
No, it’s not (yet) mandated. But the logic of national health care ultimately leads there. If government is the keeper of our health, this includes our mental health, correct?
When you consider the prospect of politicians and bureaucrats — often the least intellectually and ethically qualified among us — spearheading a determination of national mental health, it seems like a sick joke.
The basis for the recommendation is that depression, and other mental health problems, impair employee functioning and cost the American economy billions of dollars a year.
