Palmer | P000609 | palmer.house.gov | palmer | https://palmer.house.gov/media-center/press-releases | scraper | For Immediate Release Media Contact: Elizabeth Hance (202) 225-4921 Palmer Praises Executive Order Expanding Medicare Access President Trump recently signed an executive order designed to expand access to care for Medicare beneficiaries, particularly those in rural areas. In response, the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services has issued a proposed rule that would permanently add certain services to those eligible to be delivered via telemedicine. Congressman Gary Palmer (AL-06) made the following statement in support of the Executive Order: "The Executive Order signed by the President will be a lifeline for rural communities that often lack meaningful access to care," Palmer said. "The unprecedented expansion of telehealth services overseen by the Trump Administration during the pandemic will have lasting benefits for patients and I'm pleased to see some of these changes made permanent. These changes, combined with investments in the infrastructure necessary for their delivery, will ensure patients receive the care they need without having to travel long distances to be seen by a provider and I believe it will save lives." ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-06-28T00:24:54Z |
