Exclusive: HealthCare.gov Users Warn of Security Risk, Breach of Privacy
Justin Hadley logged on to HealthCare.gov to evaluate his insurance options after his health plan was canceled. What he discovered was an apparent security flaw that disclosed eligibility letters addressed to individuals from another state.
�I was in complete shock,� said Hadley, who contacted Heritage after becoming alarmed at the breach of privacy.
Hadley, a North Carolina father, buys his insurance on the individual market. His insurance company, Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Carolina, directed him to HealthCare.gov in a cancellation letter he received in September.
After multiple attempts to access the problem-plagued website, Hadley finally made it past the registration page Thursday. That�s when he was greeted with a downloadable letter about eligibility � for two people in South Carolina.

Health Policy Expert�s Insurance Gets Canceled by Obamacare
As a health policy expert, Hadley Heath has warned about the problems with Obamacare for years. Now, like so many other Americans, she�s facing the real-life consequences of the law.
Speaking to Fox News�s Greta Van Susteren, Heath said her current health care plan is no longer an option. The $113 per month she pays for that plan includes hospitalization, preventive care, immunization, X-rays, and �all the basic things that someone might want in a health insurance plan.� Her deductible was $2,700 per year.
But because of Obamacare, Heath said the most affordable plan available to her now through the Washington, D.C., exchange would double her insurance premium, and her new deductible would be about $3,500 per year.
�I can�t believe that would be better for me or something that I would choose to do on my own,� Heath said. �That�s why I imagine they have a mandate making this mandatory.�
Heath, who is a senior policy analyst with the Independent Women�s Forum, warned Obamacare will hit young people hard.
�Obamacare is about redistributing costs and, in this case, it�s from younger, healthier people onto people who utilize the health care system more,� she said.
Heath added: �I think my experience is representative of the experience of what will be millions of people who buy their own health insurance, especially young Americans. I�ve seen studies that estimate that women�s premiums might double and young men�s might triple.�
Emphasis mine - BINGO! This is not about making healthcare more accessible and affordable, it is about redistribution of wealth.
Redistribution of wealth is based on Karl Marx's stupid brain-dead moronic theory that:
#1)- there is a fixed pool of capital and
#2) - all of the world's problems are based on an inequitable distribution of said capital.
What trust-fund baby Marx (who never worked a day of his life) failed to grasp is that capital is fungible -- it can be created, it can be destroyed.
In 2008 when the bankster bubble was collapsing, where were the trucks?
When a bank failed, where did the money go? Where were the trucks hauling it away?
Conversely, there was a
single mom in Scotland that created a multi-billion dollar business out of nothing.
