Voters should care about this bill because hepatitis B and C are serious, often hidden, public health threats that can lead to severe liver disease, cancer, and death. Many people are infected but don't know it, and while there are effective vaccines for hepatitis B and cures for hepatitis C, too few people receive them. This resolution matters because it's a formal recognition from Congress that this is an urgent problem.

While it doesn't create new laws or funding, the resolution serves as a powerful statement encouraging government health agencies and the public to take action. If this resolution passes, it could generate more momentum for public education campaigns, increase testing, and promote broader access to vaccines and treatments, potentially saving lives and reducing healthcare burdens. If it doesn't pass, it means Congress hasn't formally acknowledged the day or expressed this sense of urgency, which might slow down efforts to combat these viruses.
