S 4268 Introduced – Health Care Cybersecurity

Last month, Sen Gillibrand (D, NY) introduced S 4268, the Health Care Providers Safety Act of 2022. This is a companion bill to HR 7814. It would allow HHS to “award grants to health care providers to pay for security services and otherwise enhance the physical and cyber security of their facilities, personnel, and patients to ensure safe access.”

As I reported on HR 7814 this appears to be a bill that would allow HHS to provide security grants to abortion service providers. As such I expect that this bill, like HR 7814, will be vigorously opposed by Republicans.
