are you an idiot? its not a "lack of socialized everything that started in 2012". Things have never been socialized in America and as wealth is hoarded more and more by the 1%, plus the effects of the 2008 recession, the economic situation for most Americans is becoming cut throat with a lack of socialized resources. As a result, parents struggle, which makes their kids struggle. Kids have little freedom nowadays because of how suburban + capitalist America has evolved to kill communities.

Are you even commenting on the article moron?

OP is sarcastically pointing out that since the US has never had socialized health care, that cannot be the explanation for a sudden uptick in mental health issues circa 2012.
