Health Care Cybersecurity and Resiliency Act of 2026

**Who it affects:** - Healthcare providers (hospitals, clinics, medical practices) - Patients whose medical data and care could be impacted by cyber incidents - Healthcare technology companies - Federal agencies overseeing healthcare cybersecurity **What would change:** The bill would likely establish new cybersecurity standards, provide funding or resources for healthcare organizations to improve their digital defenses, and create better coordination between healthcare facilities and federal cybersecurity agencies. This could mean healthcare providers would need to meet stricter security requirements but would receive more support to protect against ransomware and other cyber threats. *Note: This is a newly introduced bill, so specific details about implementation and requirements are not yet available.
