Is This a Great Country, or What?

I can't even pretend to understand the condition this guy has, so I will accept that it is a difficult thing to deal with. It is an interesting legal claim, to say the least, but given that we have a prison system loaded with seriously mentally ill people getting little to no treatment -- not to mention those not in prison who cannot obtain basic medical and dental care from state Medicaid programs -- it seems hard to justify spending public money this way.
