As a physician, healthcare access is critical in rural areas. In Texas, our maternal mortality rate is the worst in the entire world. While there are studies ongoing to address this, the critical piece is access to timely medical care. #twittercongress
Over the past several years, many rural areas have seen funding cut and closure of community clinics, resulting in a severe lack of availability to necessary medical care. This needs to change. #twittercongress
There are many options for improving access, like incentives to doctors &hospitals to practice in rural areas, but we also need to think globally. Until we enact Universal healthcare coverage, these areas will continue to suffer, as people forgo needed treatment. #twittercongress
I also think we need to focus on broadband access nationwide. I happen to live in an area where I have limited access-I have to use satellite. If I drop off for a few seconds, you'll know why! #twittercongress
