Newtown shooting prompts calls for mental health reform

Newtown shooting prompts calls for mental health reform:


MENTAL HEALTH GRADES BY STATE
The National Alliance on Mental Illness gave the USA an overall grade of D for its delivery of mental health care in a 2009 report. The organization found problems in every state, but some fared better than others. Updated reports in 2011 have documented additional cutbacks and challenges.

Advocates say the USA's mental health care system is broken. They're calling for more funding and new legislation to help protect both patients and the public.
