What it does
This bill lets the federal government keep paying states through 2031. States use the money to make rules. The rules let doctors work across state lines. Doctors do not need a separate license in each state. Patients can see doctors from other states by video or phone.
Who it affects
State groups that give out doctor licenses get the grants. Doctors can work in more states. Patients in rural and far-away areas can see doctors from other states.
One thing to notice
The bill does not say how the government will check if states use the money well. It does not say if doctor visits by video get better.
