At least 43 convicted criminals are working as Obamacare navigators in California, including three individuals with records of significant financial crimes.

That’s because when navigators sign consumers up for health insurance under the Affordable Care Act, they have access to lots of private information, including Social Security numbers, home addresses, and financial data — basically, everything on the wish list of identity thieves and fraudsters. Navigators also are likely to work with a population that is more vulnerable than average.

It just seems like we’ve opened up the whole mess for absolute ID theft, and the only solution...is the national ID card episode.

I honestly can not even imagine opening up that disease infected web site on my computer. I’m dead serious here.

If you’re on FR, you have nothing more to fear.
It’s liberating, actually.
