I've been reading up on this new bill and I'm not sure how I feel about it. It seems like it could have a big impact on dental care for children, but I'm not sure if it's the best approach. Who else is concerned about how this bill will affect families like mine?

I don't get why this bill is even a thing. How does it even work? Will it really help anyone? What's the point of it all? #confused
