Telemedicina in Virginia
 

I would like for Virginia to have access to this type of medical care. Telemedicine is cheaper and more convenient. Its convenient because patients can’t leave their homes due to illness. It would be much easy for the doctors to come to the patients homes and check them out. It could also save lives! This would be a huge advantage for people with illnesses. There’s also some patients who live far from their doctors so transportation would be a struggle. That’s why it would be better for the doctors to come to them. It would make life better for people with illnesses and people who live far from their doctors
