Nope, that's not a tornado in the background. . .

It's not a new idea.  I'm sure I've posted about it before.  But as someone in the mental health field who already sees enough overdiagnosed kids, this is just unthinkable.  It's nothing more than a gift for the pharmaceutical companies.

I'm a big fan of the free market and business in general.  But this is the antithesis of the free market.  Corporations' incestuous relationship with government is not capitalism.  It is called Mercantilism and it's just as bad an idea as fascism or socialism.  If you don't know what those terms mean, educate yourself on the subject.
