End of Internet subsidies for low-income households threatens telehealth access https://www.tucsonsentinel.com/nationworld/report/040624_telehealth_subsidies/end-internet-subsidies-low-income-households-threatens-telehealth-access/
More than 23 million households are enrolled in the federal discount program Congress created in 2021 to bridge the nation’s digital connectivity gap - but the program is expected to soon run out of money, threatening telehealth access for rural and tribal communities.
