In Case You Missed It: Sen. Rick Scott in RealClear Politics: “Communist China Has Its Eyes on Your Hospital Bed”

In Case You Missed It: Sen. Rick Scott in RealClear Politics: “Communist China Has Its Eyes on Your Hospital Bed” August 26, 2026 NAPLES, Fla. – Yesterday, U.S. Senator Rick Scott published an op-ed in RealClear Politics on Communist China’s threat to American’s private health data via unsecured data in everyday medical devices – and what can be done about it. This comes as the FBI recently reported that the healthcare industry faced more cyberattacks in a single year period than any other critical infrastructure sector in the country. Senator Rick Scott wrote, “Every day, Americans walk into hospitals trusting that the machines keeping watch over their hearts are working for them. Most have no idea that some of those machines may be working for Communist China.” … “I have spent years fighting to hold Communist China accountable because I know that as our strategic adversary, they want to harm Americans. They want to win, and they are willing to use your hospital room to do it.” … “American patients deserve better. They deserve to have confidence that the medical machines watching over them in vulnerable moments belong to American doctors and hospitals, not Beijing.” Read Senator Scott’s full op-ed HERE . ### https://www.rickscott.senate.gov/2026/8/in-case-you-missed-it-sen-rick-scott-in-realclear-politics-communist-china-has-its-eyes-on-your-hospital-bed
