Support rural broadband legislation and telehealth legislation to improve service and health care access in rural and isolated parts of Hawaii.
Occurrences
Evidence
The page says more work needs to be done to expand broadband access and that Senator Schatz is fighting for broadband access for everyone as a member of the Senate Subcommittee on Communications, Media, and Broadband.
The page says Schatz is leading efforts to expand telehealth services through Medicare.
Assessments
The evidence shows Schatz actively advocating for rural broadband and telehealth expansion and tying himself to those policy areas, but it does not show that the promised broadband or telehealth legislation was actually enacted or that the underlying service-access goal was fully achieved. This supports credit for sustained effort and partial progress, not full delivery.
