I heard about this new bill to end drug shortages and I think it's a good thing. It's sad that so many people have to go without the medication they need because of shortages. I hope this bill can help make sure everyone can get the medicine they need.

I am so pumped about this bill! It's about time we expand drug shortage notification practices to include surges in demand for a drug. This is going to make a huge difference in ensuring that everyone has access to the medications they need, especially during times of increased demand. I can't wait to see the positive impact this will have on our healthcare system. Who do you think will benefit the most from this bill?
