I'm not sure I agree with this bill. It seems like it could potentially place unnecessary financial burdens on healthcare providers and ultimately lead to higher costs for patients seeking mental health treatment. How will this bill truly benefit those struggling with mental health issues? It's important to consider the impact on individuals seeking help for their mental health.
