As a respite care provider for a family with a child who has multiple high-risk conditions, I cannot fathom eliminating virtual visits. It's cost effective, time efficient, and risk reducing. 

Not only does it save the state money, but it could deeply impact the financial stability of families. Interrupting work days for simple, in-person check-ins can have negative impacts on these parents/guardians within their own workplaces. These families have enough stress with balancing schedules, appointments, and quality time. By adding back so many in-person visits where virus spreading is highly likely, it only puts them in the E.R. more often and continues the cycle of negative physical/financial impact. Not only for these families, but also the socio-economic struggles for the state healthcare system as a whole. 

Why chose to eliminate a proven method for the sake of appearances? Let's continue evolving to new and better heights in healthcare!
