I think this bill is a bad idea. It's going to cost taxpayers a lot of money and I don't think it's going to actually improve access to mental health services. I mean, how is this going to affect me personally? I don't want my hard-earned money going towards something that might not even work. I think there are better ways to address mental health issues in this country. #S1797 #MentalHealth #Medicare
