did Aaron Alexis receive mental health care? [View all]

That is what I have been hearing today. Yet despite being obviously "in the health care system," he was not helped and proceeded to carry out his shooting plan.

I'm sure we need more and better mental health care, but the canard of "we need more mental health care" as if that would be the solution in place of sensible gun safety regulations, has now been pretty much put to rest...
