Tony Mantor: Why Not Me ?
Judge Milton Mack: A Man on a Mission to Reform Mental Health

So people in law enforcement are on the front line.

Tony Mantor: Why Not Me ?
Judge Milton Mack: A Man on a Mission to Reform Mental Health

There's not a...

police officer around who won't tell you that dealing with people with behavioral health issues is a big part of their job.

Tony Mantor: Why Not Me ?
Judge Milton Mack: A Man on a Mission to Reform Mental Health

If we can take care of that at the mental health treatment level, we help them out.

Tony Mantor: Why Not Me ?
Judge Milton Mack: A Man on a Mission to Reform Mental Health

And we even help out community treatment because if you get people on there into treatment and into recovery, it puts less pressure on everybody all the way around.

Tony Mantor: Why Not Me ?
Judge Milton Mack: A Man on a Mission to Reform Mental Health

People eventually see it.

Tony Mantor: Why Not Me ?
Judge Milton Mack: A Man on a Mission to Reform Mental Health

Right.

Tony Mantor: Why Not Me ?
Judge Milton Mack: A Man on a Mission to Reform Mental Health

I think you spoke with Judge Steve Leifman, I believe, already.

Tony Mantor: Why Not Me ?
Judge Milton Mack: A Man on a Mission to Reform Mental Health

Yes.

Tony Mantor: Why Not Me ?
Judge Milton Mack: A Man on a Mission to Reform Mental Health

And he's a master at that.

Tony Mantor: Why Not Me ?
Judge Milton Mack: A Man on a Mission to Reform Mental Health

He's...

Florida is not a Medicaid expansion state, and they don't have a good civil system for mental health issues like we do in Michigan.

Tony Mantor: Why Not Me ?
Judge Milton Mack: A Man on a Mission to Reform Mental Health

So to that extent, Michigan really is in an advantageous position.

Tony Mantor: Why Not Me ?
Judge Milton Mack: A Man on a Mission to Reform Mental Health

And theoretically, we should be doing better than what Judge Leifman is doing.

Tony Mantor: Why Not Me ?
Judge Milton Mack: A Man on a Mission to Reform Mental Health

But Judge Leifman has got a head start on us.

Tony Mantor: Why Not Me ?
Judge Milton Mack: A Man on a Mission to Reform Mental Health

So we're still trying to catch up.

Tony Mantor: Why Not Me ?
Judge Milton Mack: A Man on a Mission to Reform Mental Health

But we're trying to, we're moving into, we're relying on crisis centers instead of hospitals.

Tony Mantor: Why Not Me ?
Judge Milton Mack: A Man on a Mission to Reform Mental Health

And if we rely on outpatient treatment, crisis centers and so forth, and hospital emergency rooms are gonna look a lot different.

Tony Mantor: Why Not Me ?
Judge Milton Mack: A Man on a Mission to Reform Mental Health

It's quite an operation.
