Truthfully, I still have scant time but have a link article that sums up the political carve outs and slight improvement made when the bill did pass. It’s a baby step forward and some political cronies are still being rewarded:

The article covers last minute malarkey and partial protection for certain individuals afforded by the passed bill (the majority still must cough up information to the politically anointed to use as they see fit).
