Getting a Medical Diagnosis Without Ever Leaving Your Room
For centuries, getting access to health care in rural parts of the country has been especially difficult. Thanks to telemedicine companies like PlushCare, that reality is changing.
PlushCare connects users to doctors using video chat. It's available in 31 states and counting.
Dr. James Wantuck, Co-Founder and Chief Medical Officer of PlushCare, explains why telemedicine is a more convenient option than visiting a traditional doctor's office. Dr. Wantuck also weighs in on how the potential CVS-Aetna merger could impact the health care industry.
One month after its launch, new streaming venture CNN+ announced it was shutting down. Seth Schachner, the managing director of StratAmericas and digital business executive, joined Cheddar News to talk about the high-profile media flop. "That's a really, really different beast than what HBO Max is, which is video streaming, entertainment features," he said. “It's a tough sell when you really look at these things in the cold light of day as to whether or not they actually fit together."
