Which just proves what we've known all along. O'Bomber and his merry little band of Socialists are sleazy operatators.

Gee, I wonder what happens to all that personal information required to be given before you can even get a peek at pricing? Who stores your personal data, for how long and how will they use it?

Exactly! And they knew it would slow down the Obamacare site. I tried posting the whole article, but parts of it wouldn't display.

And Obama was the guy who ran on a transparency platform! He's about as transparent as a brick.

Hey, the OVERT story is our data is given to law enforcement and the IRS. You wonder what the covert story is.

Obamacare Website Source Code: 'No Reasonable Expectation of Privacy'
By JERYL BIER

The launch of federal government's Obamacare insurance exchange, Healthcare.gov, has been plagued with delays, errors, and poor website design, even prompting USA Today to call it an "inexcusable mess" and a "nightmare". Now comes another example of why the website's reputation is in tatters. Buried in the source code of Healthcare.gov is this sentence that could prove embarrassing: "You have no reasonable expectation of privacy regarding any communication or data transiting or stored on this information system." Though not visible to users and obviously not intended as part of the terms and conditions, the language is nevertheless a part of the underlying code for the "Terms & Conditions" page on the site.

After creating an account on Healthcare.gov, users are asked to click an "I accept" button under some routine Terms & Conditions prohibiting unauthorized attempts to upload information or change the website. Once users click the button, they may proceed to shop for insurance and enter detailed personal information. However, when the Terms & Conditions page is visible, the hidden sentence mentioned above along with several others can be seen by using a web browser's "View Source" feature. A screen grab below shows the visible Terms & Conditions page along with a simultaneous view of the code underlying it:

The full portion of the code which does not appear on the visible page displayed for users reads as follows:

You have no reasonable expectation of privacy regarding any communication or data transiting or stored on this information system. At any time, and for any lawful Government purpose, the government may monitor, intercept, and search and seize any communication or data transiting or stored on this information system. Any communication or data transiting or stored on this information system may be disclosed or used for any lawful Government purpose. [The sentence beginning "To continue" also appears again, but is only visible once on the page as displayed for users.

It is unclear why these sentences appear in the code at all since they are not displayed, although the code may simply have been copied from another website that does use the full warning. In this case, the unwanted portion of the warning was rendered inert with HTML coding tags ("<!--" and "-->") usually used by programmers for inserting comments to explain the purpose of a section of code. However, the code can be rendered "live" again by simply removing those tags, in which case the full text would appear on the screen to users. However, it is unclear why the paragraph containing "no reasonable expectation of privacy" would ever have even been considered appropriate in this context.

The phrase "no reasonable expectation of privacy" is actually a stock phrase used in the terms and conditions of many government websites and information systems, but those who are entering personal, medical and financial information at Healthcare.gov may not find that fact reassuring. An email sent on Thursday, October 10, requesting comment from Department of Health and Human Services, the agency responsible for the website, has not yet been returned.

Hey Randall, didn't you know Republicans caused the O'BomberCare insurance exchange sites to crash and burn?

It turns out the Obamacare website disaster is the Republicans' fault
Carol Brown

Well that didn't take long

I've got to hand it to them. The left has some creative thinkers on their team. A problem arises and, well, let me see......Oh, yeah! That's right. It's the GOP's fault! (Oh well, at least they didn't blame Bush.)

Here are the Cliff Notes from Breitbart.

An unnamed Obama administration official claimed that the White House feared GOP subpoenas would slow their work on the Obamacare website, leading to keeping its design in-house with "trusted campaign tech experts" that seemed to have spectacularly failed at creating a successful commerce website. (snip)

"Facing such intense opposition from congressional Republicans," Politico wrote, "the administration was in a bunker mentality as it built the enrollment system, one former administration official said. Officials feared that if they called on outsiders to help with the technical details of how to run a commerce website, those companies could be subpoenaed by Hill Republicans, the former aide said. So the task fell to trusted campaign tech experts."

So for those who had no idea we are the reason the Obamacare website is such a complete, total, and utter disaster, now you know! The White House was scared of us (evil terrorists that we are) and so they had no choice (victims such as they are) but to ask some IT guys who worked on the campaign to create the Obamacare website.

Sure. That makes sense.

people who discuss the existence of an universal (free) health care system are like the people on the lifeboat of the titanic that refused people for fear of loosing their life.

to discuss how it is made is one thing, but to discuss it existing is just plin shcking to me, and certainly to the people in the future, looking back, a bit like when looking back and seeing slave owner from the South protesting against the end of slavery

Well, pire, you have the benefit of experiencing it. Those who shout loudest are those with their hands over their eyes lest any evidence conflict with their preconceived reality.
