Please do not give the unqualified the ability to judge such important matters nor deny the individual citizen and or their guardians and loved ones the right to choose.

No more abuses of the healthcare system. The people will not stand for it. Our personal freedoms and individual liberties can not be infringed upon.

We have to stop this and support real help. The Baker Act is an abuse of human rights.

No objective tests, no definitions, no proof = no valid diagnosis therefore no treatment should be given.

Who would volunteer for psychiatric "treatment" - electroshock, lobotomies and/or chemical lobotomies (toxic mind-altering drugs)? This bill is just another way to force people to support psychiatric/big pharma revenues.

These practices overwhelm an individuals determinism, and are inhuman and dangerous Put your self in such a situation and discover how you would like to be treated, This is not OK. There's a better solution.

I am against involuntary commitment of any kind. This law would expand the rights of others to commit and drug children and adults.

Any Florida legislator voting for these bills is either incompetent or bought and paid for by Big Pharma and/or psychiatric special interests and therefore, not fit for office. They need to be replaced... voted out! NOW!!!

I have first hand witnessed a baker act being initiated and it was with such whim and alacrity I was stunned. I think it is akin to the overuse of antibiotics but with potential for dissolution of our civilization's founding freedoms.

I do not agree with this power being afforded to the medical field. We already have too many kids on powerful mind altering drugs. NO.

I disagree with involuntary commitment. It's a human rights violation.
