The HUB database will include such information as financial data, family size, citizenship and immigration status, incarceration status, social security numbers, and private health information. Remember all those questionnaires at your doctor's office? The ones where they want to know if you have firearms in the home?Would you trust thousands of low-level Federal bureaucrats and contractors with one-touch access to your private financial and medical information? Under Obamacare you won’t have any choice.
As the Obamacare train-wreck begins to gather steam, there is increasing concern in Congress over something called the Federal Data Services Hub. The Data Hub is a comprehensive database of personal information being established by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to implement the federally facilitated health insurance exchanges. The purpose of the Data Hub, according to a June 2013 Government Accountability Office (GAO) report, is to provide “electronic, near real-time access to federal data” and “access to state and third party data sources needed to verify consumer-eligibility information.” In these days of secret domestic surveillance by the intelligence community, rogue IRS officials and state tax agencies using private information for political purposes, and police electronically logging every license plate that passes by, the idea of the centralized Data Hub is making lawmakers and citizens nervous.
Wanna bet that HUB doesn't also tap into NICS? Or into any BATFE firearms databases? HHS has also assured us that HUB will be totally secure..........the way the stolen NSA and Wikileaks databases were secure.
The post goes on to say:
You want ACORN (or whatever it is called now since revelations of embezzlement forced it to change its name) to have access to your data? ACORN is a "community and consumer-focused non-profit group," which is serially "overlooked" by the IRS which is too busy trampling on conservative political groups to care what Obama's minions are up to.However, the hacker threat is the least of the Data Hub worries. The hub will be used on a daily basis by so-called Navigators, which according to the GAO are “community and consumer-focused nonprofit groups, to which exchanges award grants to provide fair and impartial public education” and “refer consumers as appropriate for further assistance.”
