That long way to go will not be as easy as passing laws – although this legislation will definitely help. It will also take changing behavior. https://t.co/yRJK8P8i1t — PolitiTweet.org

The Great American Outdoors Act is the most important conservation and outdoor recreation legislation in the last half century. Today, the U.S. Senate just took the first step to #RestoreOurParks by passing the #GreatOutdoors Act by an overwhelming 73-25 bipartisan vote. https://t.co/HMNE5bI9ez — PolitiTweet.org
Lamar Alexander @SenAlexander
The Great American Outdoors Act has the strong support of President @realDonaldTrump, every U.S. Secretary of the Interior from Babbitt to Zinke, and over 800 conservation organizations. I hope the U.S. Senate passes the #GreatOutdoors Act today. WATCH via @wvlt: https://t.co/GLakyCsvTE — PolitiTweet.org

Because of this 10 years of telehealth experience crammed into 3 months—patients, doctors, nurses, therapists, and caregivers can write some new rules of the road, and we should do so while the experiences still are fresh on our minds. — PolitiTweet.org

Even with an event as significant as COVID-19, memories fade and attention moves quickly to the next crisis, so it is important for Congress to act on legislation this year. — PolitiTweet.org
Lamar Alexander @SenAlexander
One of those recommendations was to make sure that patients do not lose the benefits that they have gained from using telehealth during the COVID-19 pandemic. — PolitiTweet.org

2) permanently extend the policy change that nearly doubled the number of telehealth services that could be reimbursed by Medicare. There were 29 other temporary federal policy changes that could also be considered for being made permanent. — PolitiTweet.org

Part of this explosion in remote meetings between patients and physicians has been made possible by temporary changes in federal and state policies. The private sector, too, has made important changes. — PolitiTweet.org
Lamar Alexander @SenAlexander
Our job should be to ensure that change is done with the goals of better outcomes and better patient experiences at a lower cost. — PolitiTweet.org
Lamar Alexander @SenAlexander
In 2016, there were almost 884 million visits nationwide between patients and physicians, according to the @CDCgov. If 15-20% of those were to become remote permanently due to telehealth expansion during COVID-19—that would produce a massive change in our health care system. — PolitiTweet.org
Lamar Alexander @SenAlexander
As dark as this pandemic event has been, it creates an opportunity to learn from and act upon these three months of intensive telehealth experiences, specifically what permanent changes need to be made in federal and state policies. — PolitiTweet.org
