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

The icing on the cake there was that they just gerrymandered NM recently in a way that took all representation away from southern NM.

I know other states have as well, so nothing new there, but seeing as they basically fund all the state's social projects, felt a bit done wrong.
