The Fortunate Few ACA Applicants -or- The Unfortunate Few?


Consider for a moment if one had a web site that supposedly has massive web page hits. Consider said web site is simultaneously massively malfunctioning. Would hackers be attracted? Rather likely.

Is one lucky or unlucky to have managed to navigate the broken ACA web site and have fed in the massive personal information which is demanded in the application process? Succeeding in applying for coverage on the ACA web site may be hazardous to your financial health.

Take a gander at the video above and note John McAfee's comments.

If You Love the NSA, You’ll Really Love Hub!

“The Health and Human Services Department earlier this year exposed just how vast the government's data collection efforts will be on millions of Americans as a result of ObamaCare.


Sen. Max Baucus, D-Mont., asked HHS to provide "a complete list of agencies that will interact with the Federal Data Services Hub." The Hub is a central feature of ObamaCare, since it will be used by the new insurance exchanges to determine eligibility for benefits, exemptions from the federal mandate, and how much to grant in federal insurance subsidies.


In response, the HHS said the ObamaCare data hub will "interact" with seven other federal agencies: Social Security Administration, the IRS, the Department of Homeland Security, the Veterans Administration, Office of Personnel Management, the Department of Defense and — believe it or not — the Peace Corps. Plus the Hub will plug into state Medicaid databases.


And what sort of data will be "routed through" the Hub? Social Security numbers, income, family size, citizenship and immigration status, incarceration status, and enrollment status in other health plans, according to the HHS.


"The federal government is planning to quietly enact what could be the largest consolidation of personal data in the history of the republic," noted Stephen Parente, a University of Minnesota finance professor.” - Think NSA Spying Is Bad? Here Comes ObamaCare Hub, Investors Business Daily, 06/25/2013
