Yes. Rampant untreated mental illness is a consequence of not having universal health care.
I think even if we had it, so much privileging of crazy beliefs would continue to leave this kind of thing untreated.

It’s so weird how differently things like athletics vs. expertise of the intellectual kind are treated in this country. You can say things like “elite athlete” unironically and that won’t really provoke resistance against that.
People that think they can out-sportsball an elite athlete are viewed by most as utterly delusional, because they probably are.
But when so many of my fellow Americans see an expert on some scientific topic, they’ll sneer and grumble about “elitists” and how we don’t need experts, we have “common sense”.
They get stuck at the stage after right/wrong thinking, both sides have merit, but don’t continue to grow and use critical analysis to weigh which is better for humanity, or profit, however they judge what is good.
