12 years ago, the Supreme Court decided our genes can’t be patented. That landmark ruling protected access to genetic testing and medical innovation. Now, Congress is trying to undo it with the PERA act.

Medicare stops access to #Telehealth April 1st for almost all. [Even rural pts must drive to a 🏥 office 1st & THEN get telehealth.]
This will lead to:
1️⃣ less access to specialty care
2️⃣ poorer outcomes
3️⃣ higher costs for people with cancer
#Telemedicine was a step forward. Let's not fall back.

#Telehealth allows me to see patients on THEIR schedule. I've had consults from patient couches, home offices, from the alleyway outside their retail jobs, & from their cars during lunch break. I am for any tool which enables you to live on your time (not mine). #ASCOAdvocacy
