8. The county where I live

even though it has a Republican majority surprisingly offers a subsidized mental health clinic where rates are adjusted for different income levels and insurance coverage. I am really surprised they haven't tried to eliminate it. Someone did try to propose privatizing it, but it got voted down because the social workers also counsel inmates in the county jail, and act as backups to the Veterans Hospital psychiatric staff. So it has helped me with the cost of care.

I just hope for all of our sakes Democrats from the President on down prevail in November.
