Ugh, can't believe they're making hospitals do this. It's such a waste of time and money. Who benefits from this anyway? Not me, that's for sure.

I think this bill is a good idea. It's important for hospitals to have plans in place for pregnant individuals before they are discharged. It could help ensure better care and support for both the mother and the baby. I wonder how this will be implemented and if it will make a difference in the quality of care for pregnant individuals.
