Are state Medicaid policies sentencing people with mental illnesses to prison?

So I was looking to see who funded the study at USC (having done cancer research at UM with Eli Lilly Funding - I know of the money influence of the pharmaceutical companies). I could not find out where the funding for this study came from then I saw at the end of the article:

Darius Lakdawalla, Quintiles Chair in Pharmaceutical Development and Regulatory Innovation, and a professor at the Schaeffer Center at USC (Pharmaceutical - I am not denying that medicaid tries to save money but paying top dollar for the newest antipsychotic when research has shown that antipsychotic use in many patients may result in premature death, is used to control behavior in elderly, is used as a chemical control in children... at the expense of medicaid paying for the more costly trauma sensitive care - which is the effective care) that is where I question this article and the motivation behind the study.

or are time pressed psychiatrists who had no training in trauma.  i have seen this occur over and over and mis-diagnosis is so common it is a travesty. 

was the prior authorization for a just released second generation atypical, or could they use the earlier atypicals which would be cheaper - all the atypicals work basically the same way (kind of like penicillin and amoxicillin).  there may be subltle clained differences like a little less weight gain with this one or better sleep with that one. etc

who funded this study, was it Eli-Lilly, was it Pfeizer, was it McNeal Pharmaceutical Company?

There is a danger here. The pharmaceutical companies want doctors to use atypicals and newer antipsychotics for profits. These drugs are often pushed in favor of assisted living and any kind of supportive program for schizophrenia. Again my delusional brother doesn't have schizophrenia. I saw this at VA hospitals in medic school. These drugs ALL antipsychotics have very dangerous side effects so 1. Is the correct diagnosis made? This is often in places where trauma and mental health services may really be absent --- are FP's making the serious diagnosis of schizophrenia? 2. As I said assisted living services are essential but in a state where the first generation antipsychotics are preferred (with the really horrible side effect of tardive dyskinesia) are there any so ain't network programs for that individual? 3. I bet no one has ever asked that patient about trauma.
