According to a study of patient travel times, people of color and the jobless were more likely to spend more time getting to their doctors' offices. It is also more challenging for rural folks to get adequate health care. Does the availability of video telemedicine have the potential to help these people get the care they need? The question is how this technology may be used to help the disadvantaged population better.
