The following may be attributed to Joan Marsh, AT&T Executive Vice President of Federal & State External Affairs:
“AT&T supports the FCC’s efforts to streamline the Rural Health Care Program and prevent waste, fraud and abuse. These steps will offer much needed transparency to the process, helping rural healthcare providers maintain the integrity of the program. We look forward to working with the Commission to implement these rules in a manner that preserves the marketplace where it is functioning, while at the same time limits potential abuses of the system.”
