Expand telehealth access through federal measures that work with states

Liccardo supports a federal approach to expanding telehealth that does not displace state regulatory authority. He points to easing licensing restrictions for providers at military hospitals and the VA, offering federal funding to states and professional bodies to improve telemedicine access, conditioning ACA funding on reforms, and stronger FTC antitrust enforcement against licensing boards engaged in anticompetitive conduct.

Context: These are examples of possible approaches, rather than a single specified legislative plan.

In their own words

Congress could encourage states to improve access to telemedicine
