Medicare Telehealth & In-Home Care Face Federal Funding Ghost Mode

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?
