It seems so, since most of our politicians and half of our nation are insane
Given the stresses you describe, Mr. Beechnut, it might be a good idea. I assume "sanitarium" means the same as "mental health hospital" but this might be a more updated version, a place that is soothing, holistic and healthy rather than the prison-like "funny farm" or "Cuckoo's nest" places of the past. A place for otherwise normal people too who just want a place to recover from the insanities of modern life. I assume these are publically-supported institutions? That would have to get past the Republicans who won't want to pay for them, of course. Or it might be a private-public partnership.
A personal mia culpa here. I grew to hate the boarding school I was placed in when I was ten about to turn eleven so much that once I turned 21 I nearly fought my own civil war to make my way out of there. I caused the school so much trouble that I actually did get sent to a sanitarium for observations for about 16 days. It wasn't the horror story that some portray such places to be; at least the one I was in was rather humane. My hatred for the boarding school at the time made it seem like a vacation. In the eleven-plus years I was at the boarding school I never once got to go home to my family although I did have restricted visits, when my folks would come to see me every couple of months usually.
