U.S. intelligence agencies last week urged the Obama administration to check its new healthcare network for malicious software after learning that developers linked to the Belarus government helped produce the website, raising fresh concerns that private data posted by millions of Americans will be compromised.

The intelligence agencies notified the Department of Health and Human Services, the agency in charge of the Healthcare.gov network, about their concerns last week. Specifically, officials warned that programmers in Belarus, a former Soviet republic closely allied with Russia, were suspected of inserting malicious code that could be used for cyber attacks, according to U.S. officials familiar with the concerns.

What a great program! You can sign up for healthcare and, at the same time, help the nephew of a Nigerian prince recover some stolen loot.

Seriously, this needs to happen, and in a big way. There needs to be as many people as possible to have their personal information stolen and used. Sorry, but for the greater good of this country, many (maybe a million or more) need to experience ID theft. Maybe when the “little” people find out just how much their government is protecting them, they might think twice about supporting idiots.

It will get to a point were everyone’s personal info is compromised and then the low information voters will demand action. The only logical next step will be micro chipping everyone.

Going to a private doctor that uses paper charts and paying for your visit in cash is looking better every day.

[A senior administration official questioned whether suspect software mentioned in the report would be valuable to a nation state.]

It would be useful to states like North Korea or Russia which are run by criminal organizations posing as governments.

The country elected idiots when they put dems in charge.

NO! every hospital and insurance company:
“Our programmers wrote the program that appears on the monitors in all hospitals and all insurance companies—they will see the full profile of the given patient,” Tsepkalo said June 25 on Voice of Russia Radio.”
this is very bad.

Isn’t there a clause that grants the government immunity from any liability when people steal American’s identies from the obamacare system?
