Despite the particular demographic and medical foci of their study, the article by Choi et al1 offers insight into some of the significant ways health care might be made less expensive and more inclusive. Telehealth visits are less physically and fiscally costly for frail, disabled, and lower-income patients; they allow those with limited energy to save their reserves for more important activities that may enrich their lives and improve their health. ./cache/work_ovoferwzhfdhvnnahws2mmckse.pdf ./txt/work_ovoferwzhfdhvnnahws2mmckse.txt
