I remember the 60 Minutes episode that said that hospitals do not get insurance money to reserve rooms for mentally ill patients, so that once an acute attack of a mental disorder is over the patient is released....without the necessary hospitilization. Downside is that once they are at home they can become 5150s all over again and kill a family member, which has happened.
