First, get the money out of politics. Second cut %50 of the funding for our bloated military and reallocated towards education and healthcare. Third adopt single payer healthcare.
Additionally, make sure that mental healthcare is easier to gain access to and make sure it has equal funding. The last time I stayed in a behavioral ward it was plain to me that it was grossly underfunded. In fact they didn't even have individual therapy. In this vein, I would like it if people were more accepting of the mentally ill here, to the point that I wouldn't have to be embarrassed to say "I don't work or have a wife and kids because I have schizophrenia." Some might think I'm lazy or something but it's safer for them to think that right now, I think.
I'd rather not test how accepting people are.
