Gene Green: “The affordability of therapies is an issue of great growing concern.”

The Cures Act aimed to build on the progress of the HITECH Act of 2009, but by focusing on improving interoperability, patient access to their health records, and reducing provider burden.

I would like to submit the following letters for the record.

I am extremely disappointed that 2 years after the passage of Cures we still do not have the regulations necessary to implement these provisions.

I would like to thank Dr. Rucker for testifying today on the Office of National Coordinator's work to implement the 21st Century Cures Act.
