The father is on the money.

I have a schizophrenic family member. It costs six figures annually to keep them in a facility - which is designed to handle a completely different type of disability - and off the street.

It’s dumb luck that this facility accepts them and cares for them despite a lot of drama and irregularity. Many others have shown them the door.

It’s even dumber luck that the money exists to pay for the care.

If an American or someone they love winds up with a similar affliction, the chances of finding such a disaster-averting outcome are close to nil.
