Have you signed up, or are you thinking of signing up at healthcare.gov for ObamaCARE? If so you better be prepared to deal with indenity theft because healthcare.gov is still loaded with security problems. Even if your information is hacked on Healthcare.gov (or any other state exchange), they will not be required to notify you. You think the security issues on healthcare.gov were bad back in October and November? They are actually even worse now.
NBC (surprisingly):
Cybersecurity researchers slammed HealthCare.gov’s security during a House hearing on Thursday, saying the site is still riddled with problems that could put consumers’ sensitive health details at risk.
“The reason we’re concluding that this is so shockingly bad is that the issues across the site are so varied,” David Kennedy, founder of the information security firm TrustedSec, told NBC News. “You don’t even have to hack into the system to see big issues – which means there are [major problems] underneath.”
Kennedy was the first of a group of so-called “white-hat hackers” who testified before the House of Representatives Science Committee on Thursday. He previously testified on November 19, when he said he was able to identify 18 major issues with the site – without even hacking into it.

PresidentSince the Affordable Care Act, or “Obamacare”, was passed in 2010, the legislation has survived multiple repeal attempts by Republican lawmakers, a US Supreme Court hearing, and a disastrous rollout of the website set up to assist the launch of the legislation.
“Nothing’s really changed since our November 19 testimony,” Kennedy said during the hearing. “In fact, it’s worse.”
