lol.....wrong again
The
Mental Health Systems Act of 1980 (MHSA) was
United States legislation signed by President
Jimmy Carter which provided grants to community mental health centers.
In 1981 President Ronald Reagan and the U.S. Congress repealed most of the law.
[1] The MHSA was considered landmark legislation in mental health care policy.
The law followed the 1978 Report of the
President's Commission on Mental Health, which made recommendations for improving mental health care in the United States.
The Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1981, signed by President
Ronald Reagan on August 13, 1981, repealed most of the MHSA.
Carter took appropriate steps to address the problem, Reagan threw it all out...basically shut them down and released the patients.
