Why is mental illness overlooked as a political issue?

Because if we were seriously address it it would force Republicans to potentially acknowledge that their last president titular head of their party is Spotify crazy pants.

Why does every discussion return to Trump?
 There’s not been ANY president that has made mental health a serious issue

You might want to look up obsessive compulsive personality disorder, as well.

Acknowledging 8 patently obvious truth, as well as frustration as to why 45% of Americans continue to buy it Hook Line & Sinker, is hardly a obsessive.

I mean, I would argue that after everything Trump has pulled the fact that about 45% of Americans at least are ready to vote for him yet again is much more obsessive than acknowledging such Collective insanity.

Except for Obama and Biden

Ive read what Biden suggested in his SOTU. It’s a lot of talk. No action. Obama did a small step that had been suggested since before he became President.

My daily life hasn’t changed because of either one. Nor Trump. Nor anyone in DC.

Perhaps you already had mental health coverage. For millions of Americans, though, that is a change.

I have Medicaid. Not exactly good tier coverage.

Good thing it wasn't cut by Republicans though. Also a shame that by one vote on the Supreme Court Obama's aggressive and passionately fought measure 2 extend Medicaid coverage to the states failed which of course Republicans fought tooth-and-nail. But both sides and all that is such an intellectually easier pill to swallow.
