Will taxpayers such as myself be paying for it?  If so, then no.

Of course not.  Missouri tax payers are smarter then the ones in Kentucky.

Is MB serious and you are really considering to sing up yourself for shock-therapy?

electroshock is controversial, yes.

Mark Vonnegut, son of Kurt, wrote about what it did for him in his book The Eden Express. It ended his psychosis, which he thought was a good thing.

I remember that episode of Cheers when Cliff paid some guy to shock him whenever he was being obnoxious.  By the end the poor man was basically fried. :(

Heard of good results for therapy resistant depression patients, not so much for psychoses. Some people swear by it. Downside seems to be that the effect wears out after a while and you have to repeat the treatment, but each time to a slightly lesser effect.
