11/1/2010: Notice of "rate" for Elizabeth Ellis care in an institution, paid for by taxpayers

Minnesota law requires that clients like Elizabeth Ellis be notified how much it would approximately cost to hold them in a psychiatric facility. This document revealingly notifies Elizabeth that the cost of locking her up would be close to one thousand dollars a day ($982). The notice also states that Elizabeth's monthly check from social security - which she must live on - would be taken to pay $854 a month. The taxpayers would have to make up the approximately $30,000 a month difference, for the horror of seizing Elizabeth from her home, locking her up and forcing her to have electroshock.
