Telemedicine in the USA. Pros and cons

In the United States, a major campaign has been launched to legalize telemedicine (telemedicine), a method of providing doctor's services from a distance through a video link between a doctor and a patient via smartphone, computer, and other devices such as free and secure telemedicine platform doxy.me. Proponents of this "progressive" method of treatment want to equate telemedicine with traditional visits to doctor's offices and get it covered by Medicaid, Medicare, and other insurance.
