    "Hackers have laid siege to U.S. health care and a tiny HHS office is buckling under the pressure

    With a dearth of resources, the Office for Civil Rights is struggling with an overflowing caseload    ...

    ...the Department of Health and Human Services’ Office for Civil Rights, which is tasked with investigating breaches, helping health care organizations bolster their defenses, and fining them for lax security, is poorly positioned to help. That’s because it has a dual mission — both to enforce the federal health privacy law known as HIPAA and to help the organizations protect themselves — and Congress has given it few resources to do the job...

    Due to its shoestring budget, the Office for Civil Rights has fewer investigators than many local police departments..."

    "Ransomware attack delays patient care at hospitals across the U.S.

    One of the largest hospital chains in the U.S. was hit with a suspected ransomware cyberattack this week, leading to delayed surgeries, hold ups in patient care and rescheduled doctor appointments across the country.

    CommonSpirit Health, ranked as the fourth-largest health system in the country by Becker’s Hospital Review, said Tuesday that it had experienced “an IT security issue” that forced it to take certain systems offline..."

    So maybe the death penalty or a life-term without parole for hackers targeting health systems and devices would be an appropriate penalty/deterrent.
