[TAO] FTC and Telehealth - an example of positive impact

[Catherine Britain]

Greetings,

If you attended the 2017 Telehealth Alliance of Oregon Summit, you had the
opportunity to hear a presentation from the FTC regarding how it can impact
telehealth.  They have the ability to comment on pending legislation in
states and express concern when the legislation negatively impacts
competition, access and consumer choice.

They recently issued a comment to the Washington State Legislature on
behalf of ocular telehealth asking legislators to reconsider the proposed
legislation.

A nice piece of advocacy on behalf of telehealth:
