Telemedicine
 

Telemedicine appointments are less expensive than traditional appointments on average, reducing overall healthcare costs, which saves the government money. It is also more efficient for following up with patients. Most private insurance already covers telemedicine. Why should Medicaid be left behind?

So I think Medicaid should adopt telemedicine to improve people’s lives.
