> Most psych facilities are over-enrolled and have no interest in keeping people around

Seems you didn't read the linked buzzfeednews article.

If you read it you'll notice that many hospitals work fine -- but there's one particular psych facility company that abuses the system, Universal Health Services, or UHS.



No need to make accusations. It's just that the problem the article describes is with UHS, not with taking police out of the response to mental health issues and homelessness.


Observation != Accusation ?

Anyway yes I think / agree with you that the buzzfeednews article is ... off topic? Maybe it'd been better in its own discussion.

And sounds like a really good thing they're doing, sending health care workers instead of police
