So you run a private business, and you aren’t making money because of the high recidivism rates and laws that prevent you from charging for immediate readmission. That’s Obama care but it was bipartisan. Then you have red states and Republican leadership closing the state hospitals due to high costs. So hospitals, a non public entity now have to house this population in an extremely regulated and high cost environment.
These private employers decided they were not going to pay for a public service and I don’t blame them. Imagine if your plumbing business was just told you will eat the costs of poor people who can’t pay because government doesn’t want to provide that service any longer or makes laws like Obama care did?

Hit from both sides.
Reagan was the one who killed funding for the mental health institutes of the time and landed loads of vulnerable people out on the street.
