That's wild. New Mexico is fairly notorious for having terrible medical and social safety net stuff.

I have a friend that had a daughter that lived there, and had serious mental health issues, and I'd hear nightmare stories about how bad the state was for that.

I have family with similar issues, in New York, and they get an amazing amount of state support.

This is paid for by the oil and gas boom in Southern NM.

The medical situation is getting worse by the year, though. I don’t think it’s just a matter of shoveling more dollars

What I was told, was it was anti-undocumented stuff.

People don’t want immigrants getting help that residents pay for, so they turn the spigots off for everyone.
