Neither these bills nor the Committee's other efforts have gone far enough to address many of the underlying challenges facing this sector.

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.

These numbers are troubling as we are because even more acute when you look at the existing racial, socioeconomic, and geographic disparities.
