What changes would you love to see, at a Federal Government (aka whole Nation) level, and/or funding towards Mental Health in the U.S.?

For me, as someone who interacts online with a lot of people that could really use mental health resources. I really wish there was Free both Therapist and Psychiatrist availability for Low Income people with the absolute minimum of hoops to jump through. One of the biggest problems I see, is that while there may be some resources available to these people with no disposable income and very much in need of mental health, the difficulty of attaining these services and fear of rejection by the system consistently prevents them from seeking help. I don't know how many I have talked to that just give up after being denied due to arbitrary rules or clerical errors.

It just winds up either not being worth it to them to try and go through all the paper work, check ups, validations, etc. So they continue to suffer. I wish these people could just request help and get it without all of the bureaucracy.
