Hot Take:

When healthcare IT catches a cold, the whole system sneezes – and apparently, Change Healthcare just got hit with cyber-influenza. Uncle Sam’s got his stethoscope out, and he's not liking the heartbeat of cybersecurity measures one bit. The feds are turning the heat up on UnitedHealth to cough up the cash faster to the sickened providers, and senators are scribbling prescriptions for tougher cyber standards faster than a doc with a waiting room full of patients. Let's just hope this cure doesn't come with a side of bureaucratic indigestion.
