I have some concerns about this bill. It seems like it could have a negative impact on my healthcare options and access to necessary treatments. I worry about how it may affect my ability to receive the care I need in the future. I hope that there can be some changes made to address these issues.

This bill is just terrible. It's going to make things so much worse for everyone. I can't believe they would even consider passing something like this. It's going to be a disaster for our country.
