More ACA screwups...
COLUMBIA, SC (WIS) -
About a month ago, attorney Tom Dougall logged on to healthcare.gov to browse for cheaper insurance for him and his wife. On Friday, the last thing he expected to hear on his voicemail was a man from North Carolina who says he can access all of Tom's personal information. Dougall says he thought it was a scam until he realized his privacy had been breached. "I believe somehow the ACA, the Healthcare website has sent me your information, is what it looks like," said Justin, a North Carolina man who could access Tom's information on healthcare.gov. "I think there's a problem with the wrong information getting to the wrong people." At first, Dougall didn't know what to think. "We received a phone call from a gentleman named Justin in North Carolina who informed me that he had gone on the healthcare.gov website and when he logged in under his log in and password, he received a document of all of my and my wife's personal information," Dougall said. Dougall said he thought it was a ploy. "Initially I was concerned because I didn't know if this was some guy who was scamming me or if in fact this was a guy who really had my personal information," he said. Justin even provided proof, documents containing Tom's personal information and screen shots of the website. "And you can see that he's actually signed in as Justin and it tells him he has notices about his marketplace eligibility and to download those and when he downloads it, the next screen shot shows him my personal information," he said. --------- And the hits keep rolling... |

Given the problems, I think anyone who signs into healthcare.gov and provides *any* personal information, SS number, etc. is a fool. Yup... Why? |

Right now I'd be more confident that posting my full name, address, social security number and financial info here on rec.boats would be more secure than on the government website that is full of holes. |

I wanted to see what Jawbone's *technical* answer would be, after all, he claimed that he and his wife could do it all in a week and for $10k. |

In rec.boats you have documented criminally insane posters clammering to gather personal info for their own dubious purposes.
Not sure about your new medical system. |
