> You assert that there is a right-wing ideology behind the website, yet the driving force behind this bill are the Republicans. It doesn't jive and I think you are jumping to a few to many conclusions without any basis in fact.

I think yznhymer was right on the money.

Although it is inappropriate to conclude that all positions put forth by this physicans' group are biased (even the Nazis did have some good ideas), one needs to go back to the primary source material to gather more information. Here is one section of the Report to the President, that addresses the concerns you raised:

http://www.mentalhealthcommission.gov/reports/FinalReport/FullReport-05.htm

There is no mention of mandatory treatment of any kind. The only thing they're trying to make mandatory is to make mental health care equally available to all citizens. Mental health issues are lifespan development issues. Early intervention is a darn good idea.
