I don't think this bill is a good idea. It could have negative consequences for many people. It's important to consider all the potential impacts before moving forward with it. Did you know that this bill also includes provisions for data privacy protections?

I'm really excited about this bill! It's great to see the government taking steps to incorporate artificial intelligence into healthcare and Medicare. This could potentially lead to more efficient and accurate medical treatments, which is something that could benefit all of us in the long run. Can't wait to see how this plays out!
