| The Trump administration is making health care cheaper and more accessible. That’s the takeaway of a new executive order released this week, which expands the use of telemedicine for some seniors. It’s another good step toward bringing better health care to every American. The coronavirus pandemic has made telemedicine a fact of life for millions of Americans. The new executive order will keep this critical service available to seniors in rural areas, where driving for hours to see a doctor is a big concern.
