It's probably the most blatantly pandering thing this administration has done, and that's fuckin' saying something.
You say it does not do anything... others are saying that it discriminates against people, and that a doctor can turn away a patient because they don't like their group. All I'm asking is what does it actually say.
If it is putting into a law what you say, then why is that bad? In kinda seems like people just want to complain, even when they have nothing to complain about.
I didn't say this law wouldn't do anything. I said IF this law doesn't do anything real, then why waste peoples' money on it. I'd usually like laws to be clearly specified, defined, and their impacts predicted ahead of time, rather than just "seeing what will happen." And you don't pass laws just because 'it doesn't hurt anything', you're supposed to pass laws because they have an actual positive effect on the country.
