I don't think this is a good idea. It seems like a waste of resources and could potentially invade people's privacy. I'm not comfortable with the government having access to my personal health information like this. It just doesn't sit right with me.

I don't like this bill cuz it could mean less in-person care for folks with end stage renal disease. It might make it harder for me to get the help I need.
