Per WaPo, House dems were chatting "hell no, he'll no," when they introduced it. The House reconvened about five minutes ago, & are expected to vote on it in about 30 minutes.

What got CUT from the bill they're voting on in 30 min: 1. Lower Rx costs 2. PBM Rx Reforms (price spreading hurts consumers) 3. $190M research funding for ped cancer 4. Ethanol & stadium *I don't know where it landed re: stppping a 3% drop in Medicare reimbursements.

Final vote: NO on CR bill w/ telehealth extension. Screenshot = a min. before Johnson called it - Final tally 174-235-1. Of the Rs voting No, let's be clear: they would've been thrilled to suspend the debt ceiling, but didn't want you to have healthcare access & disaster relief.

She's right! Even if you don't care about folks on Medicare (or Medicaid; some states have laws explicitly allowing telehealth for Medicaid/kids' CHIP as long as Medicare offers it), remember: most private insurance follows Medicare, re: telehealth benefits! Call your Sens, too!
