Gene Green: “I want to remind the panel the Affordable Care Act was passed in 2010.”

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

The 9-1-1 system was clearly overwhelmed--and was not nearly robust or resilient enough to tackle the volume of calls.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that more than 700 women in the United States die each year due to complications related to pregnancy and childbirth.
