“This bill lets the government fine health tech companies that break the rules. I want to know how we will make sure those fines are big enough to actually stop them from blocking health data, instead of companies just treating the fines as a normal cost of business.”
“Mr. Speaker, the bill would give the government the power to establish administrative monetary penalties for health IT vendors that do not comply. I wonder what would stop these penalties from simply being another cost of doing business. How can we ensure that the penalties are strong enough to actually deter data blocking?”
