Hacking expert David Kennedy says he cracked HealthCare.gov in 4 minutes - Washington Times

The man who appeared before Congress last week to explain the security pitfalls of HealthCare.gov took to Fox News on Sunday to explain just how easy it is to penetrate the website.
Hacking expert David Kennedy told Fox’s Chris Wallace that he determined he could gain access to 70,000 personal records of Obamacare enrollees via HealthCare.gov within about 4 minutes — and it required nothing more than a standard browser, the Daily Caller reported.

“And 70,000 was just one of the numbers that I was able to go up to and I stopped after that,” he said. “You know, I’m sure it’s hundreds of thousands, if not more, and it was done within about a 4 minute timeframe. So, it’s just wide open.”
“You can literally just open up your browser, go to this, and extract all this information without actually having to hack the website itself,” he said.
Mr. Kennedy testified before Congress Thursday that HealthCare.gov was “100 percent” insecure, Washington Free Beacon reported.

I don't think the Obama Administration really cares about security on their website. All they're concerned about is the number of people that have enrolled to the Un-ACA. Without a top notch internet security put into place, I will never sign up to this scam & have personnel sensitive information stolen from me.

The Feds could've handed a cool million dollars out to you & me for the hell of it. Seriously, somebody should be asking for 900 million dollars of our money back to apply to that 17 Trillion in the hole.

Hmmm, a little different story than the Bagdad Bob "everything is going well, just a few glitches"

Document: ObamaCare contractor faces mid-March deadline or disaster | TheHill

“There is limited time to build this functionality and failure to deliver…by mid-March 2014 will result in financial harm to the government,” the document says.

“If this functionality is not complete by mid-March 2014, the government could make erroneous payments to providers and insurers,” it continues. “Additionally, without a Financial Management platform that accounts for enrollments and associated program costs that integrates with the existing CMS Accounting platform, the entire healthcare reform program is jeopardized.”

more on the issue

Failure to get this platform built in time, it said, could result in "erroneous payments to providers and insurers." And that, in turn, "could seriously put (health plans) at financial risk, potentially leading to their default."
In addition, the inability to forecast risk adjustment payments — a critical feature of ObamaCare — would put "the entire health insurance industry at risk." The officials' words, not ours.
Worse, they have only until mid-March — 31 business days from now — to get this "core functionality" built.
Yet even when announcing the contract switch earlier this month, the administration tried to downplay the situation, saying it had brought Accenture on mainly "to prepare for next year's open enrollment period."

I can almost guarantee the government won't make erroneous payments. They'll just withhold payment until the system works, same way they held back Medicare and Medicaid payments a few years ago when they changed all their treatment codes without telling the doctors.

Less price regulation, probably less expensive, covers less people

Because cancelling insurance policies is terrible, right?

Cancelling them so they have to sign up for something else to subsidize a bunch of others ain't exactly a great policy.

ACA also leaves up to 28 million people uncovered - definitely worth changing all insurance to pick up about 22 million while leaving out 28 million (assuming it reaches full implementation)

But, but, but, but according to the State of the Union, he wants to see alternate plans! And see how the people react and would be willing to try them!

He didn't lie did he?!?!?!?!?

Which of them has allowed to get traction? Obama won't hear about anything that is contrary to his legacy legislation.

Pretty much. Any big changes in direction will be recognized as failure even if it makes the situation better.

Solid political move I guess. Piss poor leadership however.

Sound political move as well.

We welcome all ideas but don't plan on considering any of them.

Thank you,

Obama Admin.

There have been a plethora of alternative plans as you probably know, unfortunately the pharaoh is unwilling to listen to any alternatives...
