We can both agree on that.

it was done in poor taste, and those people are still being exploited it is sickening.

Unfortunately in this day and age, and perhaps even in earlier days and ages, people caught up in tragedies are prime targets for political exploitation, from both sides.

We had the greatest heath care system none to man, that shooter could have been helped, but no let's get goverment involved, well good luck with that.

I can't really comment on the US health care system because it confuses me somewhat, but that aside, I think we can both agree that the mental health care system for young men needs to be improved and drastically. Unfortunately without government assistance, that's not likely to happen because it is not a profit making exercise, and private enterprise is only interested in making money, be it from government grants or from charging patients for care. Either which way the patient comes last.
Admittedly, even when government does get involved, it usually tries to run the service to make money when it should be run to mend people, but that's the way the system works, exploitable resources and all that.
