I've said before the 'genie is out of the bottle' concerning telehealth flexibilities and expansion, and I continue to believe this.

I was very pleased that the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), the Trump administration and Congress worked together to make sure telehealth was accessible and available during the pandemic.
Telehealth can't replace all in-person business, and we need to ensure quality of care is still given by the provider no matter the setting.
I believe we should fully examine these issues now and also revisit once OIG investigations are complete.
Each of us have a choice to make--we can stay in our camps and focus on ideological battles or we can sit at the negotiating table and get work done that the American people expect us to do during these challenging times.
Over 441,000 people have died from the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States, which is greater than the number of American servicemembers we lost in World War II.
I think we must fully evaluate our country's response efforts on what has worked and what lessons we have learned thus far during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Why should the American people have confidence that this committee will provide unbiased recommendations regarding a COVID-19 vaccine...
I don't think it's inappropriate to call out any politician who suggests that that timeline should be modified to fit a political schedule.
We need to make sure that people can have confidence, when a safe and effective vaccine is approved by the FDA, it will be safe and effective.
