Bill Cassidy Republican
“I want the Senate to pass my bill. Cyberattacks can steal private medical information and delay lifesaving care. This bill helps health care providers protect patient data and keep treating patients without disruption.”
“Mr. President, I will briefly speak to this. Improving cyber security resilience is essential to safeguard patients and ensure that providers can deliver care without disruptions. My bipartisan bill, the Health Care Cybersecurity and Resiliency Act, would ensure health institutions can safeguard Americans’ health data against increasing attacks. At a time when cyber attacks not only put patients’ sensitive health data at risk but can delay lifesaving care, we need to do more to provide support. I yield the floor.”
