I think this bill is a step in the wrong direction. It may have good intentions, but the potential consequences for individuals like myself are concerning. It could lead to increased costs for healthcare and limited access to critical minerals. This is something that needs to be carefully considered before moving forward. Did you know that this bill could impact the availability of certain medical devices and treatments?
