ObamaCare Poses a Massive Privacy Risk
Investor's Business Daily ^ | 08/07/2013 | IBD Staff

Posted on 08/08/2013 4:11:10 AM PDT by IBD editorial writer

Privacy: Despite repeated assurances that the ObamaCare data hub is on schedule, a government audit finds that vital security measures to protect private information likely won´t be ready by Oct. 1. The implications are profound.

As far back as December 2012, Obama administration officials were insisting that the data hub at the center of the ObamaCare exchanges was nearly finished. Yet all the while, they were pushing back deadlines or missing them altogether, to the point where, unless ObamaCare´s launch is delayed, millions of people´s privacy will be at risk.

Obama officials may, in fact, have flat-out lied to lawmakers about the data hub's progress.

PRIVACY??????????????????????????????????????????
What’s that?

They listen to your phone, they can track you anywhere, they can listen to you in your car, they can tell when you are on vacation and if you left the air conditioning on by your electric meter.

Privacy, The only place you have privacy is when you shut the bathroom door to take a dump.

“ObamaCare Poses a Massive Privacy Risk”

THIS was the primary and insurmountable objection most sane and intelligent adults HAD about the ACA monstrosity, RIGHT from the start!

Someone wants to raise the issue NOW? Really!!??

Don’t bank on that.

they can tell when you are on vacation

And it's not only the government. Recently, our family went on vacation. I went to use my CC when we arrived at the rental car agency. My card was denied. I immediately called the CC company and was informed that I was supposed to notify them when I traveled. I flipped out on them (been with them 15 years) and asked when they notified me of this.....crickets. It gets worse. 2 days later, went to charge an excursion and was denied AGAIN. Called them again....LIVID.... And was told I was supposed to notify them! Needless to say, I canceled and went with another provider.

The difference is that they can access the data, not anyone. With their poorly built data hub the info will be in Peking and Moscow within a day, along with 100 other hacker groups.

See that air vent above you as you sit there? Take a closer look and say "hi" to the camera.

My toilet isn’t too bright. It just sits there while I take care of business.

Since implementation of Commune-Style Obama’care’ is a privacy violation to the US Constitution, then an injunction needs to be filed with SCOTUS by the Esteemed Speaker of the House, John “Cave-In” Boehner.

The key to success is to bypass all Administration Bureaus.

Oh wait, I forgot that “Cave-In” Boehner is on vaycay for 5 weeks - - - - !

I am looking for the underground medical professionals. I refuse to comply with this monstrosity, but there’s no way to avoid it at all levels.

This is all about getting the data. One of the reasons why owebamacare will go into effect with little actual opposition from the gop wing of the uniparty.

Nothing new here. J.Edgar Hoover knew that Lucy was pregnant BEFORE Desi. True story. He called Desi to congratulate him and Desi was surprised to hear it. Orwell was far and away ahead of his time.
