Does the elimination of Telemedicine for Medicare matter to you KR?

I'm wondering why the Prez killed that program. It would seem to me older people would rather do a zoom meeting than go into the office for a lot of routine things (i.e. refill prescriptions). I've also heard its about half the cost of a normal visit for insurance.

You OK with no more telemedicine on Medicare?

Good thing for most of us.
How so?

I do know of one downside....
I've got a s#it-ton of family that are farmers in rural areas of Iowa. Most of the rural hospitals are still open due to funding they receive from Medicaid. If Medicaid goes away or is significantly cutback, their rural hospitals will likely close down. They are all conservative and more than a little worried.
