Modernizing telehealth policy to meet the moment is one of the most important responsibilities of this Health Subcommittee.

I am proud to colead several efforts that would give our providers more certainty about how care will be delivered in the future, such as the comprehensive CONNECT for Health Act, aimed to remove the most onerous roadblocks in telehealth…

I know in a prior hear for the Director of OMB position I was able to ask questions generally in regards to concern about equity and the role OMB can play in policymaking and budgeting to address equity challenges in America.

We must reimagine and redesign healthcare.

Home and community-based care is the future of healthcare delivery in this country.

The question we need to ask ourselves is, What are the current barriers to home-based care, and how do we address them?

I want to increase accessibility for all people, especially those that currently go without seeing a doctor...

The expansion of telehealth has played a critical role in the access to care during the COVID-19 pandemic.

I really do believe, since 80 percent of what we spend in healthcare is--are on 20 percent of the complex patients...

How do we ensure equity and create policies that not only increase telehealth coverage when appropriate, but ensure that everyone has access to the technology?

I really appreciate it and look forward to continuing the conversation. I do want to mention legislation that was passed last session that was spearheaded by our former chair Elijah Cummings to help facilitate with the coordination.

Telehealth has the potential to improve health equity by increasing access to care for rural and underserved communities across America.

We have got some work to do to make sure that no one falls through the cracks.

I think money is always involved in just about everything in life.

I would like to see one bill, one bill that is comprehensive.

$7 billion, with a B. That is going to go a long way.

I think this is one of the best hearings we have ever had.

Telehealth could help close that gap.
