Strongly oppose
 

 I’m  a childcare provider, and I strongly oppose being required to purchase EpiPens. Many of us are already struggling to afford basic necessities, including food. Adding the cost of EpiPens is simply impossible. If this requirement moves forward, I will have no choice but to close my daycare. This mandate puts an unfair and overwhelming burden on small providers like me.
