I don't like this bill. It will make things harder for families. It's not fair.

I support this bill to help pregnant and postpartum women get better healthcare. But how will this really change things in the long run?

This bill is a waste of time and money. Why should my tax dollars go towards covering remote devices for pregnant women on Medicaid? It's not my problem if they can't afford it. This is just another example of government overreach and unnecessary spending. I don't see how this will benefit me or anyone else.
