(CNSNews.com) - Rep. Joe Barton (R-Texas), a member of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, on Thursday grilled Cheryl Campbell, senior vice president of CGI Federal Inc., the company that built the Obamacare health care exchange website, on language hidden in source code that says applicants have “no reasonable expectation of privacy.”

Campbell did not contest that this was the cases,

“This is the part of the signup that is hidden," said Barton. "The applicant does not see this, but it is in the source code, and what that blue highlighted area that’s been circled in red says is: ‘You have no reasonable expectation of privacy regarding any communication or data transmitting or stored on this information system."

The HIPAA Privacy Rule “establishes national standards to protect individuals’ medical records and other personal health information and applies to health plans, health care clearinghouses, and those health care providers that conduct certain health care transactions electronically.”

“HIPAA is designed to protect the patient’s privacy, and this explicitly says in order to continue, you have to accept this condition that you have no privacy, or no reasonable expectation of privacy,” he said.

They know, they are in on it with the democrats.

"They (repubs) know. They are in on it with the democrats"

That's what it looks like. But then the question becomes: What do we do now?

Yes, but HIPPA applies to you...does it apply to them? We know that for the most part it doesnt apply to your private information being forwarded to various government agencies.

The segment is 10:46 minutes long. At 4:46 Eric Boling jumps into the conversation.

Eric Boling talked to a lawyer. The Democrat (Pallone) is wrong – when you check that box you are NOT agreeing with HIPPA.

HHS has bypassed HIPAA - Obamacare is not a covered entity for HIPAA if you check the box you DO give up your privacy.

FYI - the idea is for Obamacare to fail so single-payer is THE option.

Do you really believe that by signing up for CACA-CARE you void any right to privacy?

I find that impossible to believe. If some jerk in some clinic made my medical file the subject of gossip or blackmail....well, I do not want to say what might happen for such a privacy violation.

My issue is that medical records will be in the grubby hands of the low-lifes at IRS. You should be afraid, very afraid of that. They have a bad record of protecting privacy.

If it doesn’t show on the screen, I’d say it doesn’t apply. Even more so if it’s just some boilerplate in a comment that isn’t even in the executing code.

Who's to say, later, after the damage to privacy has occurred, and maybe a lawsuit is brought? It would be impossible to say what was on the screen and when. Besides, doesn't our government have sovereign immunity to just say FY?
