Personally, I believe that a lot of grief (economic and otherwise) would be lessened by instituting universal healthcare--including care for mental conditions. Can't work if you're sick, and other downward spirals.
From a macroeconomic point of view, universal health care also has the merit of increasing labor force mobility. With the burden of private health care removed from the equation it is easier to hire and fire.
