I think this bill is a good idea because it will help track hospital bed capacity, which is important for public health. I'm not exactly sure how this bill will work, but I believe it will benefit everyone by improving our healthcare system. #HRBill2936 #publichealth #hospitalbedcapacity Short comment: "Excited for the potential benefits of this bill! #HRBill2936"

I'm not sure how I feel about this bill, but it seems like it could have some impact on hospital bed capacity. Did you know that this bill also includes provisions for updating public health data systems?

I don't think it's right that this bill is allowing grants to be used to track hospital bed capacity. It feels like an invasion of privacy and could potentially lead to discrimination based on health status. #privacyconcerns
