Hot Take:

When you're handling one-third of America's patient records, maybe it's time to consider that your IT security needs to be tougher than a stale hospital graham cracker. Change Healthcare just got a reality check from the cyber underworld, and now everyone's prescription is reading "Take one (1) hefty dose of cybersecurity, and call me in the morning." It's a network interruption, alright – more like an inter-ransom, possibly? We're left to guess because they're treating the details like HIPAA on steroids.
