That’s OK, the government isn’t concerned with HIPPA, that’s for the little people.
In a memo sent to Republican colleagues on Thursday, Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-Va., announced that the chamber would take up a measure next week to “strengthen security requirements” on the error-plagued HealthCare.gov website and “require prompt notification in the event of a breach involving personal information.”
“American families have enough to worry about as we enter the new year without having to wonder if they can trust the government to inform them when their personal information — entered into a government mandated website — has been compromised,” Cantor added.
Republican chairmen for four Congressional committees — Oversight and Government Reform Chairman Darrell Issa, R-Calif., chief among them — have spent considerable time and effort in recent weeks trying to prove that administration officials overlooked or flat-out ignored warnings that the security infrastructure of HealthCare.gov had vulnerabilities. Now, House GOP leaders are riding the wave of public outcry over these reports to schedule a vote on related legislation.
“To date, the Administration has downplayed the risk of a data breach, perhaps in part because their primary goal is signing people up for insurance through the Exchange,” Cantor told his members in the Thursday memo."...........
Oh, that is quite all right. They were just trying and they meant well. That’s all that really need count nowadays with Democrats and government bureaucrats.
Here’s my take. These “children” don’t exist. They were created by people so they could get numerous cards under different names and sell them. After all, the government admitted there would be no requirement of proof.
I won’t say whether or not I think they’re Amish.
“...new Medicaid cards for nearly 49,000 children were mailed on Dec. 30 to the wrong people...
...state officials were first informed of the problem on Thursday by county officials...”

Something about this does not make sense.
Zer0Care!
The gift that keeps on giving!
Shhh, it's a secret. Government is totally incompetent. Don't tell anyone.
“ensure personal information is protected,” said Sandra Terrell, the state’s acting Medicaid director. “
A little late, don’t you think?!
“New federal Medicaid eligibility rules starting Jan. 1 allowed the agency to shift medical coverage for more than 70,000 children of low-income families from the state-run NC Health Choice to Medicaid.”
Uh oh, somebody’s gonna be in trouble. Big, big trouble.
Whoa, wait just a minute.
This was a government screw-up. A gigantic, massive government screw-up.
So nobody’s gonna be in big trouble. Or any kind of trouble. At all.
Never mind...
Wait till they find out how much a a bad deal military and VA medicine has been.
That’s government health care.
It is socialized medicine, in its design and it has a bad reputation.
And it uses doctors.
Wait until Bo care eliminates all good health professionals. No doctor in his right mind would sign up for this.
OY. It’ll make military medicine look like the Mayo clinic.
