I don't like this new bill, it's gonna mess everything up for us. I don't know why they keep making these changes, it's just gonna make things worse. I wish they would listen to us and stop messing with things. It's not fair to us who rely on these hospitals for our care. I hope they realize the impact this is gonna have on us.
