This is a robbery.

Only Congress shall determine spending and the Congress DID NOT APPROVE this removal of services

This is just crazy!!

Also, removing telehealth is only going to make healthcare more expensive.

Cruel MF’s. Not all seniors can make it to appointments especially after a long hospital stay or surgery.

Telehealth saves money. Not covering it will cost Medicare more money. So why are they doing this? To kill people? To make Medicare look like it doesn’t work? Will they allow Advantage Plans to cover it? So they will look better? Don’t buy Advantage Plans. They won’t cover in person visits!

What heartless, insensitive, and uneducated assholes! 😡 Do they not realize how many shut-ins, disabled, & poor people (no transportation) use such services? And how many ambulances and medical transport services AREN'T used by the use of telehealth so they are more available for dire public needs?

Our HMO only offers telehealth psychotherapy. So does that mean no more mental
Health services for medi cal recipients?

Gosh, I hope this doesn't make what Krasnov & his minions are doing REAL, & upsets anyone.

Sure put seniors out on the road. My reflexes are so great but so what huh?

femalehumanist.bsky.social•10 hours ago

Damn. I use telehealth visits when I’m too sick to go in as many others do.

This is absolutely nuts! What other tricks do trump & his MAGA Republicans have up their sleeves?

juilf.bsky.social•9 hours ago

This is due to the expiration of a policy put in place during COVID, not new policy changes, not a new change.

Private insurance companies know that telehealth services are often more efficient and reduce the cost of care, that's why they encourage people to use them. This move by Republicans demonstrates that they really have no idea what they're doing.

America sucks. Most selfish people on the planet.

This was previously slated to shut down. It was COVID-19 related. Has nothing to do with DOGE

hfyou.bsky.social•5 hours ago

According to Snopes, Trump got the GOP to shut it down in Dec.

This is beyond stupid. What's the reason? I'm on Medicare and still work full time. So, now if you have blood work done, you have to make an appointment, go to an office and have the report given to you by the doctor in person. Mind you, I already saw it in my lab account portal. 🤬

abra-k-dabra.bsky.social•9 hours ago

I thought that telehealth, in the big picture of overall cost of healthcare, saves money and reduces strain on providers. Go figure. The party of DOGE makes no sense. No sense at all.

Just had a tele-health visit today. This is terrible.

They are trying to make it harder to use or access services to claim they aren't needed & justify more deep cuts & privatization.

The pro-life party. 😡
They were never pro-life, they are pro woman-suppression.

These are not Republicans, they're bomb-throwing anarchists. They're certainly not patriots or concerned about their fellow Americans, vets, elderly, disabled, at-risk children, farmers, distillers, builders...etc.

This means I just lost my awesome therapist because I don’t drive and it is too difficult for me to get to and from his office. I’ll miss him but this is the least of my worries.

This is just plain cruel to rural seniors, the disabled and those who lack transportation to medical facilities. And, besides medical staff time, how much can a phone call or zoom mtg cost?

gmcginnis.bsky.social•9 hours ago

Unbelievable. In a wheelchair? Republicans think, in-person visit. Afraid of getting COVID? Republicans think, in-person visit. Can't afford the rising costs of gas, cars, and transportation in general?

So... saving money isn't really the goal?? Who knew? The A-holes.

teedogg.bsky.social•7 hours ago

Can you imagine the gall it takes to deprive the people of what they are owed by a government they've supported all their lives? And for what? So they can enhance their riches? If there has ever been a better example of Evil I don't know it. They are deluded to believe they'll get away with this.

Then it’s most likely bye bye to all telehealth - if Medicare is out, the industry will probably not offer the in general

rudelyvangelder.bsky.social•10 hours ago

What even is their motivation behind doing this - to make the culling of the nation’s elderly and infirm more efficient?

chaos-jessie.bsky.social•9 hours ago

This is one of those things that proves beyond any shadow of doubt that it has nothing whatsoever to do with saving money or efficiency, because telehealth services ACTUALLY SAVE BOTH MONEY AND TIME.
This is entirely about control and the ability to flex power. The cruelty is the point.

drddd.bsky.social•10 hours ago

Your right - and it’s sheer madness that so many people just think that their voices don’t matter - call your representatives- write- email them they are paid very well to represent their constituents!!!

robhawes.bsky.social•10 hours ago

Bad idea. Telehealth is more efficient for rural folks, especially.

dlev.bsky.social•9 hours ago

No one has ever accused them of ramming thru good ideaa
