Thank you for taking the time to draft this up. I hope people will take inspiration from these words; it perfectly encapsulates why telehealth is vital - to disabled people, high-risk people, poor people, and those in healthcare deserts. There is no point in telehealth if we are forced into going to a physical (in location) doctor.

If you are an American citizen and have not written a comment, consider doing so. So many people rely on telehealth, both to keep themselves safe and ensure they can continue living their lives. People deserve the same access to healthcare. Telehealth is a vital component of our healthcare system. It must be accessible to all people.

The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) is planning on changing their regulations for telehealth prescriptions of controlled substances. However, they have opened comments up for people to voice their opinions. You can submit a formal anonymous comment HERE. The comment period ends on March 31st, 2023.

This is an important issue for those who are prescribed controlled substances (e.g., testosterone or ADHD medication) through telehealth, which means it can and will impact trans people on testosterone and a ton of others if this goes through.
