78% Fear ObamaCare Site Security, Could Deter Signups
Investor's Business Daily ^ | 11/29/2013 | John Merline

In what could be the biggest handicap to getting people to sign up for ObamaCare, the public is overwhelmingly concerned about the security of the information compiled by the ObamaCare exchange.

The latest IBD/TIPP poll finds that fully 78% say Americans should be concerned about the security features of the ObamaCare exchange website, and 53% say they should be "very concerned." This view was shared across parties, with 69% of Democrats saying security concerns are warranted.

More worrisome for the success of the law, 82% of young people between ages 18 and 24 say concern is justified. These are among the people ObamaCare most desperately needs to enroll in order to keep overall premiums from spiraling out of control.

Yeah, that’s a problem too. But the main problem is that they are selling an overpriced sh*t sandwich.

The identity theft industry will really take off.

Then some snot nosed hacker will relocate to Russia and start releasing everyone’s personal information.

It will never end.

That website is about as secure as a cardboard box. And when they hired Felons as navigators it only became worse

Once your identity is out there you cannot take it back. Zerocare will
ruin more than healthcare. Thanks Democrats, American traitors.

69% of Democrats

The fear of exempt RATS up for reelection in 2014 shouldn't count.

The 22% are liars. No matter what, they give the answer most favorable to the left.

I’ve not heard one competent security expert say anything except that this patched together mess is anything close to secure. Did anyone on the team even do a basic penetration test and get positive results?

I wouldn’t touch that site for anything.

The government is the worst hacker. They’ll know what your assets are to the last penny. This isn’t about health insurance, it’s about deep monetary mining. Unlike Medicare....the look back starts here.

How convenient -- look for another explanation for this latest gov't debacle:

'People are not enrolling because they have an irrational fear of security and identity theft, due to sabotage by the Republicans trying to make the system fail.'

If that doesn't work there's always the old standy: It's Bush's fault!

And when some kid in romania gets private information and sells it for $25, the US government will tell the victim to go to hell. There is no recourse. None.
