Medicare Telehealth & In-Home Care Face Federal Funding Ghost Mode
Brace yourselves: America’s in-home care and Medicare telehealth programs, the unsung heroes keeping grandmas comfy and couch potatoes remotely patched up, are on the verge of a federal funding hangover. If Congress doesn’t magically extend the cash flow, these programs risk going dark faster than a TikTok ban. No names, no fancy sponsors, just the classic government firmware glitch showing off—send money or say goodbye to virtual doc visits and door-to-door care. Who knew saving tens of millions from healthcare couch potatoes and actual in-home care workers depended on the same toaster plug Congress might forget to flip?
