Defending President Barack Obama’s much-maligned health care overhaul in Congress, his top health official was confronted Wednesday with a government memo raising new security concerns about the trouble-prone website that consumers are using to enroll.

The document, obtained by The Associated Press, shows that administration officials at the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services were concerned that a lack of testing posed a potentially “high” security risk for the HealthCare.gov website serving 36 states. It was granted a temporary security certificate so it could operate.

Security issues are a new concern for the troubled HealthCare.gov website. If they cannot be resolved, they could prove to be more serious than the long list of technical problems the administration is trying to address. …

Maybe we can backdoor through the website and get Obama’s own PI.

Don’t mention it publicly though, or he’ll shut down the website himself.

If you like the website’s security, you can count on your confidential health care records security too!

Oh wonderful. They faked their security. The site is publicly declaring that it meets the standards of security, when they explicitly know that it doesn’t!!

This is just like everything else they do. Phony fake fraud. I hope it’s only 0bama voters who find out the hard way what an insecure website means.

Republicans are being handed their best and most public opportunity in years to lay out the ideas of liberty our Constitution protects from coercive government power versus a President and Cabinet who openly declare that they are imposing "settled law" that robs Americans of the right to choose health providers and insurance carriers because "he won the election."

And these Republicans frittered away that opportunity letting Sebelius focus them on a "web site" and empty promises to "fix it."

I am waiting for the first big hacking of personal data of enrollees, and hopefully some fraudster sells their information to a dozen illegal aliens.

To begin with, they will cross match everything you say against all databases to which they have access looking for criminal activity, including lying on the application for which there is a $25K fine for “negligent lying,” and a $250,000 fine for “knowingly lying.”
