Yes, we should oppose Obamacare because it uses computers. They’re Satan’s playthings. Next time you go to the hospital, tell them you don’t want them to use any technology that wasn’t around in 1930.
Just noting that in recent weeks Google, Facebook, and numerous “commercial” sites noted they’d been hacked, including the occasional bank. BTW, they don’t always make public successful hacking entries, it’s part of security. With the opportunities out there now for most people’s “private” information to be obtained, the ACA is the least of people’s worries. Which, on low income folks trying to sign up for ACA, uh, what have they got to interest hackers?
That said, security DOES need to be secure, but at the same time, Congress needs to get serious about passing legislation to make hacking a high felony, with severe sentencing, carried through on by the courts. That includes “corporate persons” caught “playing with the system”.
Seems to be a subtle change from the nay-sayers doing the happy dance that the web site has problems to “your personal information will be hacked.” Must mean the web site is working.

Been on the site, Dana? Got one in mind that can’t be hacked? You do know the IRS allows people to file electronically, right? Scary! Scary!

Wingnuts: “ACA website is prone to cyber attacks by hackers! Its a giant failure!!!”
So Mastercard, Facebook, and Bank of America are failures too because they are prone to (and have been) cyber attacked by hackers.
Wingnuts: No! Obama doesn’t run those companies! They’re A-OK!

Strange you would think that just when the U.S. was starting to gain back some International respect.
