Thank you for leaving a comment, @kelliebourgeois4722! Are you still impacted or have your systems been restored since you commented?

Why are congressmen and the president on Change Healthcare? Are the American people paying for this with our taxes?

Hi, @swan378! Thank you for leaving a comment. The cyberattack on Change Healthcare had a nationwide impact, disrupting pharmacies (e.g., CVS, GoodRx, Publix, etc.). If any of these men and women did try to pickup or order medicine during the downtime they would have also been impacted. I’m sure not all members of Congress have medicine prescribed to them but it’s not out of the realm of possibility that a lot do. Consider the average age of the current, 118th Congress is 58 years old they’re at least taking a vitamin 💊 or two 😅
