The White House is no longer concerned with the Obamacare website meeting security standards. Experts refer to the lack of care regarding security concerns as "disgraceful."
◼ Rogers: WH wouldn’t brief us on Healthcare.gov security gaps – even in closed session - Ed Morrissey/HotAir
Rep. Mike Rogers provides a cheery thought on personal security as the White House gears up to sell ObamaCare all over again. Last night, he told Greta van Susteren that data security on Healthcare.gov didn’t even meet “minimal standards” for the industry. In terms of the “private-sector velocity and efficiency” claimed by the Obama administration over the last couple of days, Rogers says that experts warned him that they would be sued out of business if they rolled out a website with this many security gaps.

How bad are things going to get in January? The Washington Post has sources that claim fully one-third of the enrollments processed for ObamaCare to date are invalid. Given how much the Administration has been padding the enrollment number (and mixing Medicaid in with Affordable Care Act purchases) that’s probably north of 10,000 invalid policies, and it’s going to get worse.
...How bad is the Healthcare.gov security situation? So bad that, according to Rep. Mike Rogers (R-MI), chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, the Administration refuses to brief Congress about it. (Let me put that into context for you, given the general M.O. of this corrupt Administration: there have probably already been serious hacker attacks, but they’re keeping it secret to head off a panic.) In a sane world, that would result in an emergency veto-proof vote to shut down ObamaCare, but no Democrat in this Congress cares more about the security of the American people than they care about the Party’s political fortunes, and the power they have seized by nationalizing an industry the government is clearly unfit to control.
