Shut Down Obama Care Site

[MSimon]

President Barack Obama's HealthCare.gov site is riddled with security flaws that put user data of millions of people at risk and it should be shut down until fixed, several technology experts warned lawmakers on Tuesday.

The testimony at a congressional hearing could increase concerns among many Americans about Obama's healthcare overhaul, popularly known as Obamacare. Opinion polls show the botched rollout of the online marketplace for health insurance policies has hurt the popularity of the effort.

The website collects personal data such as names, birth dates, social security numbers, email addresses and other information that criminals could use for a variety of scams.

In a rapid "yes" or "no" question-and-answer session during a Republican-sponsored hearing by the House of Representatives Science, Space and Technology Committee, Republican Representative Chris Collins of New York asked four experts about the security of the site:

"Do any of you think today that the site is secure?"

The answer from the experts, which included two academics and two private sector technical researchers, was a unanimous "no."

We're seeing a very interesting (in the crash&burn&explode-ohthehumanity definition...) and historical occurrence.

A government has gotten to the point where the leadership is not only non-functional (because you can coast a long time with lousy leadership) but actively harmful to itself? The ACA, if it doesn't explode the party, has exploded the myth of the Democratic Party as being 'for the little guy'. That worked as long as the little guy wasn't getting seriously corn-holed, but even Joe LIV Six-Pack's going to be feeling the pain HARD from this one.

And he's going to look for the source of that pain.



See that gavel, Joe? See the person holding it? She cares about you, Joe. She loves you. She wants you to be happy.

Just put your testicles on the anvil, and soon you'll be howling for joy. (Or whimpering in pain... both sound alike to her.) Either way she'll be happy because she's HELPED you, Joe.

She just lives to serve, she does...
