Inside Telehealth: Most Midterm Voters Support Free Telehealth Pre-Deductible (11/17) – The Alliance to Fight for Healthcare conducted an election night poll, which found that an overwhelming majority of midterm voters want telehealth services to be covered before individuals meet their deductibles. Of voters who supported Democrats in the midterm elections and were polled, 91 percent support Congress allowing telehealth to be free pre-deductible. Support for telehealth access remains high across insurance groups as well – 81 percent of people with employer insurance and private insurance support the measure, and roughly 77 percent of people with government insurance or on Medicare telehealth access, support the measure. Voters who identify as women generally support access to telehealth pre-deductible more than those who identify as men, polling at 85 percent and 73 percent support, respectively.
