Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, health systems now provide the majority of telehealth across the country. However, while health system physicians are going back to their office-based routine, patient demand in many cases has started to outstrip the health system supply. Some health systems have contracted with third-party telemedicine vendors that often require patients to go into a separate system that is not well-integrated with the health systems' other technologies.

Back in 1960, life expectancy in the US was 69.7 years as compared to 43.7 years. At the turn of the century, this gap had closed to 76.8 to 71.4 years. As of 2021, however, US life expectancy was 76.1 whereas life expectancy in China was 77.1, a full year ahead of the U.S. Part of the reason for China pulling ahead was a bigger decrease in life expectancy in the US during COVID-19 (falling from 78.8 in 2019 to 77.1 in 2021) whereas life expectancy actually increased in China (76.9 to 77.1).
