NEW YORK (Reuters) - Almost all U.S. hospitals were hurt financially by the cyberattack on United Health Group’s Change Healthcare unit earlier this year, according to a survey from the American Hospital Association (AHA).

The AHA said that 94% of hospitals reported damage to cash flow and more than half reported significant or serious financial damage due to Change's inability to process claims.
