In the article it says public hospitals across the country have struggled to provide acute psychiatric care to the poor and uninsured since the early 1960's.When large mental hospitals began closing their doors en masse.The author believes that many of the patients who suffer from chronic conditions can be treated with medication and counseling.The author also believes that the mentallly ill typically wait twice as long for treatment as other patients populations do.
    I agree with the author the patient deserve proper care and should not have to wait hours on end to be seen and recieve service in the hospital.they shouldnt be discriminated against just because the person may be physically ill with or without insurance.They should be examined and given proper medication to cure their condition..I worked in the hospital and i see how the patients are treated they will come in and sometimes their sickness or symptoms is not even that bad but if they have no insurance they will be the last to be seen.Like the women waiting in the waiting room of brooklyns largest psychiatric hospital,who died thats very unfortunate because she died of blood clot in her leg and nobody realized till after 40 minutes of her laying their dead..Had Esmine Green go the proper treatment she would would have been alive today..Hospitals, emergency room's should access patients sooner then their doing because with no insurance,mentally disturbed,chronic illness,we are all humans and deserve to have a place in the medical emergency rooms.why should patients wait alot of deaths could be prevented if more facilities had more of caring support team.
   In conclusion the hospitals should have more of a solid community base support team.more sponsors to donate money to the hospitals and emergency room more of caring nurses,doctors and staff to care for the health of people and wellness of them rather than just think of money and how their gonna get paid because  at the end of the day.Without patients,hosptials can function the more people thats cured then doctors and nurses wont have to worry about emergency rooms or hospital being overcrowded and not having enough beds for patients.
