I am deeply saddened by the potential impact of this bill on our healthcare system. It is concerning that this legislation could affect the care I receive during such a vulnerable time in my life. I am unsure about the specifics of this bill, but I fear that it may lead to a shortage of qualified healthcare professionals in perinatal care. The long term effects of this bill could be detrimental to the health and well-being of mothers and babies across the country.
