I don't know much about this bill, but it sounds like it could be helpful for people in the health professions. I'm all for anything that makes it easier for healthcare workers to get the skills they need and find childcare. It's about time we start prioritizing the well-being of those who take care of us. #HR5375 #HealthcareWorkers #Childcare
