In short, having huge numbers of Americans complain to Congress, as with this piece of legislation, can influence laws at the margin.

The rest of the bill is still awful; it imposes new and large taxes on wind and solar while eliminating subsidies for them, funds a the deportation of millions, cuts medicaid sharply (in large part through imposing onerous paperwork on people) and cuts taxes for billionaires while raising them on the poor.
