Gutting coverage for telehealth visits means higher burdens of cost/time/transport for seniors, which means more missed appointments, more patients lost to follow-up, more lost prescriptions, and worse patient outcomes for anyone under Medicare coverage. #Medsky

Where you at Dems ? You fighting to get them far better severance or going to ignore them, and all others in similar circumstances?
Termination notices going out this afternoon to more than 300 employees of the National Cancer Institute. Access likely ends today. Four weeks paid leave and that’s it.

Strong power move for Team Cancer.
