they'll start with the DU subscribers list first, but do you think they will get approval for funding this? Will the sheeple really go along with funding something like this, while so many can't afford to see their doctor for physical illnesses? Ironically, I wonder how many people suffer from extreme mental stress cuz they are so worried about how to pay for basic health care for thier family. And we call ourselves the best nation on the planet? Arghhh!!! Sorry for the rant.

How will people like me be screened?
As the BMJ reported, everyone is at risk of being labeled under Bush's plan. Bush's New Freedom Commission identified a program called the Texas Medication Algorithm Project (TMAP) as the model program to be implemented across the US to identify people with "mental illnesses" who have previously been undiagnosed.
TMAP would call for general health practitioners to screen their patients for mental illness. The Bush administration wants your family physician trained to screen you for mental health problems. So if you go to your doctor for a cough, you would also be asked questions about your mental health.
Anyone involved with the public school system, including kids, educators and other school staff, would be especially vulnerable. Doctors are trained to recognize that the way children act in the doctor's office is not a good indicator of the children's actual behavior. Because of this fact, doctors are more likely to follow the suggestion of a teacher, rather than their own experience interacting with the child. This results in a situation where teachers, not doctors, are, in essence, prescribing medication to kids.
