I have concerns about this bill supporting a "NICU Baby's Bill of Rights". While I understand the importance of protecting newborns in the NICU, I am unsure about the specific details of this bill and how it may impact healthcare providers and parents. It is crucial to ensure that any legislation in this area is well thought out and considers all perspectives.
