Committee Hearings – Week of 4-14-24

This week, with both the House and Seante in session, there is a moderately busy hearing schedule. This includes a number of budget hearings as a part of the start of the certainly to be contentious FY 2025 spending process. There is one cybersecurity hearing looking at medical cybersecurity issues.

Today, the Health Subcommittee of the House Energy and Commerce Committee will hold a hearing on “Examining Health Sector Cybersecurity in the Wake of the Change Healthcare Attack”. The witness list includes:

• Greg Garcia, Healthcare Sector Coordinating Council,

• Robert Sheldon, CrowdStrike,

• John Riggi, American Hospital Association,

• Dr. Adam Bruggeman, MD, Texas Spine Center

I do not expect much discussion about medical device cybersecurity.
