Telemedicine delivery is effective

Telemedicine delivery is an effective system to provide equal access to health care. Through the use of this technology, access to quality health care is available to women, no matter where they live. Why would the Iowa Board of Medicine want to take away safe access to care?
Thousands of Iowans use telemedicine delivery for health care services every day. Utilizing this technology to deliver medication abortion pills should be no different. The Board of Medicine should make decisions based on the health and well-being of Iowans, not their personal views.
