This is a calfornia department of health document, therefore it appears to apply specifically to that states definition of an IMD.

It appears that is is an expanded version of the document created orginally in order to facilitate changes in the treatment of mental health and better define what an IMD needs and is.

It defines and provides provisions for Intitutes of Mental Disorders where public mental health would be addressed. It also allows for pay exclusion to those of certain ages, allowing for more treatment to those that may be more at-risk.

Vulnerable populations for mental health issues seem to be covered by pay exclusion. Those younger than 21 or 22 are included, which appear to be the most at-risk for mental illness.

I could barely find anything on this in particular. In general, there have been more and more support for a stronger mental health system in the United States and while this policy furthers development, some people believe that there is much more that is needed.

It defines where we would take psych transports. Otherwise it does not directly address first responders.

This policy was established in 1965 and set down protocols for the Medicaid program. The medicaid program provides funding for medical and health related services to people who have a limited income. This policy specifically denotes what defines an institution, determining whether or not an institution is IMD and other aspect such as ages, costs and the definition of IMD are also set forth. Ultimately proving to set parameters and expectancies to those people and institutions that find themselves operating within this policy or referencing it.

It was harder to find this information, but from what I gathered, the concept of national health insurance first became a topic of discussion during the Truman administration. From 1958 to 1964, controversies rose and a bill was drafted, specifically by who is unknown, but the signing of the act was part of Johnson's Great Society. Though names are not listed, it is said that those who previously worked on the King-Anderson Bill drafted this current Medicaid policy and that Wilbur Cohen, Assistant Secretary for Legislation of the Department of Health, Education and Welfare, really pushed for this Medicare bill.
