OopsBamacare, 1st Privacy Breach Reported in Minnesota (illegal, health care, insurance)

[freemkt]

Two reviews are planned of MNsure, the state's new online health insurance exchange, after an employee accidentally distributed confidential information about more than 2,400 insurance agents.

A legislative panel and the legislative auditor said Friday they want more information about the breach. MNsure officials acknowledged mishandling private information. They said the employee sent an email to the office of an Apple Valley insurance broker on Thursday afternoon that contained Social Security numbers, names, business addresses and other identifying information.

The IRS is the administrator of your medical records. We already know that hte IRS is now an arm of the Democrat party dirty tricks committee, as will be EVERY agency dealing with your health care.

We already know that the IRS, the EPA, and other agencies will do anything illegal to advance party politics.

Minnesota is one of the few states that decided to build their own exchange instead of defaulting to the fed or partnering with other states. Minnesota owns this mistake.

Just about every 8-12 weeks I receive notice from a business about a breach of confidentiality. The most recent was from the hospital I had my first child in 25 years ago. Why my information was on a disk in an office drawer, within the hospital, for 2.5 decades is unknown. This is eons beyond all legal retention requirements.

Just wait till bank account and pin numbers get breached and displayed publically.

Unfettered access to your accounts by the government AND thieves. And it'll be hard to tell the difference between them.

They do. But only when they're Republicans, or some impudent democrat who thought he was above the party.

Or the Tea Party. Imagine the ball the Lois Lerner types in the IRS will have with your medical info.
