Rep. Becky Edwards (R)

HB 345 (Telehealth Pilot Project)

Libertas Institute opposes this bill.

This bill proposes spending $350,000 in taxpayer money to fund a telehealth pilot project to increase access or convenience to health care, including in rural populations in the state.

Libertas Institute opposes this bill. Taxpayers should not be compelled to fund telehealth projects for those who choose to live in rural areas, especially since commercial providers are already innovating and expanding access to telehealth services.
