Issue is that some stuff might get you institutionalized.
This. The ambulance rides are not free.
Every time I have been 5150 I've come out slightly better mentally but much worse financially. I was stressed about finances before I went in and received a new bunch of bills when I got out.
I wasn't talking about finances at all, all that stuff doesn't cost anything extra here. I was talking about the loss of freedom from literally being locked up.
Adding bills to that definitely adds insult to injury, though.
That is a culture problem, unfortunately. :(
