I don't think this bill is a good idea. It's gonna cost a lot of money and I don't see how it's gonna help me or my family. I think there are better ways to help seniors get access to nutrition without spending so much. This bill just doesn't make sense to me.

This bill sounds good, but not sure how it will really help seniors. Confused about it.

This bill, it's not good for me. It will make things harder for seniors like me in WI. I don't like how it will change things for us. I wish they would think about us more before passing this.
