Agree

No, incentivize private companies to address this issue instead

Nixon's administration was known for its support of private enterprise and free market solutions, as evidenced by his implementation of the New Federalism policy, which aimed to decentralize government powers to state and local levels. This suggests he might support incentivizing private companies to address mental health issues.

However, his administration was also known for fiscal conservatism, which might limit his support for increased funding.
