Abstract

The way the Texas Legislature conducts business during the 2021 session may look different due to the COVID-19 pandemic. But the Texas Medical Association's commitment to improving health care remains the same. Some of those goals are up against deep cuts to state agency budgets. At the same time, however, the pandemic has created opportunities for medicine to bend lawmakers' ear on some of its longstanding goals, including advancing access to care, vaccines, health coverage, and telemedicine.

坚持到底:德克萨斯州立法机构召开了一次前所未有的医学会议。
由于COVID-19大流行,德克萨斯州立法机构在2021年会议期间开展业务的方式可能会有所不同。但是德州医学协会对改善医疗保健的承诺没有改变。其中一些目标面临着对国家机构预算的大幅削减。然而,与此同时,这场大流行也为医学创造了机会,让立法者在一些长期目标上侧耳而听,包括促进获得护理、疫苗、健康覆盖和远程医疗。
