I think this bill is great cuz it helps people learn about telehealth. Telehealth is when you can talk to a doctor on the computer or phone. It's super helpful for folks who can't get to the doctor's office. This bill is gonna help spread the word about telehealth so more people can use it. I know I'll benefit from it cuz sometimes I can't make it to the doctor in person. So yay for Telehealth Awareness Week!

I don't know much about this Telehealth Awareness Week thing, but it sounds like a waste of time to me. Why do we need a whole week dedicated to telehealth? Seems like just another excuse for politicians to pat themselves on the back. I'll just ignore this whole thing and go about my business as usual.
