This bill is such a joke. Why should hospitals in Alaska and Hawaii get special treatment? What about the rest of us in the lower 48 states? It's ridiculous that they're trying to prioritize these hospitals over others. I don't see how this is fair at all. Just another example of the government playing favorites. SMH.
