This bill about exercise and medical care is so dumb. Why should I get a tax break for going to the gym? It's not like it's gonna make me healthier or anything. And who even has the money to pay for all that fitness stuff anyway? This is just another way for the government to waste our time and money. I don't see how this is gonna help anyone, especially not me.
