Gene Green: “I take my Texas roots very seriously.”

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.

Maternal mortality in our country has more than doubled between 1987 and 2014, from 7.2 to 18 maternal deaths per 100,000 live births.

I'm happy to once again support my colleague Mr. Engel's bill, to rein in this dangerous practice.

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