Confidential Obamacare Navigator training manual uploaded online

Tammy Duffy, a radiation health physicist from New Jersey, was talking with Obamacare Navigators one day and asked a question regarding people who are self-employed, in which they could not provide an answer. She then asked for a copy of the manual, which they would not give her since it’s not meant to be available to the public.

“I asked the nice ladies for a copy and they said I could not have it because it was a government document not for the public. So I thought maybe there is an outline or shorter version that is for the public. I went to Google and typed in ‘healthcare insurance marketplace Navigator SOP,” Duffy said.

Sure enough, a Google search of “Healthcare insurance marketplace Navigator SOP” yields a link back to the “Health Insurance Marketplace Navigator Standard Operating Procedures Manual.” The manual is labeled as “restricted distribution” by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and threatens prosecution to anyone authorized to view it who ultimately disseminates it to unauthorized people — and it’s online for everyone to see.

Duffy knew she came across something that should not be online and tried reaching out to the federal government informing them of this. Nothing happened.

“I immediately sent an email through the White House web site that these documents are on the web for all to see. I got no response. I also called the White House yesterday and spoke to a volunteer (and said) these restricted documents are on web. I have heard from no one. I also sent it to a friend who works at the Department of Defense and said, ‘Get this taken down.’ It’s still up there.”

This was published in Aug 2013? Isn’t that a little late for the first version? Maybe they expected problems with the web site...

We call that “transparency” in the Obama regime.

Done!

I don’t if that makes me a criminal.

If so, I’ll do the time proudly!

[Carriage Hill]

Can anyone tell if someone downloads it from that site? IP address?

[dblshot]

and it’s online for everyone to see.
Why not, so is everyone's personal Obamacare signup data.

It reads better in the original German.

[tacticalogic]

I’ll bet it’s not written in cursive.

[Responsibility2nd]

Sure they can. Every click - every site - every time.

Its just a pdf file. Click it and read over it.

Gosh, I wonder what else can be Googled. It would save Darrell Issa a lot of time.

If you google that disclaimer, thousands of results come up, often on documents that do not otherwise appear to be confidential (lists of public contact info for various offices, for example). It’s a boilerplate disclaimer.
