Three Health Care Experts Reiterate Importance of Making COVID Reforms Permanent
One of the revelations of the coronavirus pandemic has been how important online town halls can be to the public interest, and on Thursday, the Show-Me Institute was pleased to have three national experts with us to share their knowledge about how health care has changed so far in this crisis, and where we should go from here.
The event couldn't have come at a more pivotal time. Missouri, like many states, is looking seriously toward making permanent changes to our health care system in response to last year's health crisis to ensure that health care is affordable and accessible, pandemic or not. Our guests Josh Archambault, Naomi Lopez and Rea Hederman talked about telehealth, scope of practice, and health insurance respectively, although we had the opportunity to pick their brains about other health care issues in the Q&A period that followed the talks.
The event was about an hour long, and a recording was made available on the Institute's YouTube channel.
