Henry Chao, HealthCare.gov’s Chief Project Manager at CMS Says He Never Saw Memo Uncovered Warning Of “Limitless” Security Risks Of Obamacare Website

The roll-out of Obamacare has gone from complete incompetence to a full blown scandal …

CBS BOMBSHELL …

Henry Chao, HealthCare.gov’s chief project manager at CMS  in charge of building the federal health care website  testified for nine hours behind closed doors to the House Oversight Committee in advance of this week’s hearing that he was kept in the dark about serious failures in the website’s security. Chao stated that he was unaware of a September 3 government memo written by another senior official at CMS that found two high-risk issues. In fact he testified that he had been told just the opposite. Chao is the individual who gave the go ahead for Healthcare.gov to go live on October 1, 2013; however, it appears that the person in charge of the project was kept in the dark. Chao testified that it was the first time he saw any such memo that said “the threat and risk potential (to the system) is limitless. When asked whether he was surprised he never saw any such memo he replied, “Yeah … I mean, wouldn’t you be surprised if you were me? It is disturbing. I mean, I don’t deny that this is … a fairly nonstandard way” to proceed.

How does somebody not tell the project manager of system vulnerability findings? Someone is either lying or purposely set out to mislead to make sure this was implemented on time irregardless of the risks. The real question is did the Obama administration know this and were they directing the implementation be on time at all cost? Sorry folks, I am a healthcare project manager and I have never heard of anything like this. Heads would roll if anything remotely like this occurred.

“What I recall is what the team told me, is that there were no high findings,” he said.

Chao testified security gaps could lead to identity theft, unauthorized access and misrouted data.

According to federal guidelines, high risk means “the vulnerability could be expected to have a severe or catastrophic adverse affect on organizational operations … assets or individuals.”

The author of the security memo in question, Tony Trenkle, retired from CMS last week. Hmm, so did he retire, did he just have enough, or was he forced out?

The CIO for the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, Tony Trenkle, is leaving CMS, the agency embroiled in the ill-fated rollout of government’s Healthcare.gov insurance marketplace website.

Trenkle, who directs CMS’s Office of Information Services and oversees $2 billion in annual IT spending at CMS, is departing effective Nov. 15 to take an undisclosed position in the private sector. His departure was announced in an internal agency memo released today from by CMS chief operating officer Michelle Snyder.

Must see VIDEO that ALL  should watch of the risk that Obama and his minions put “We the People” in by accessing Healthcare.gov to the “Limitless” Security Risks

CBS News:

CBS News has learned that the project manager in charge of building the federal health care website was apparently kept in the dark about serious failures in the website’s security. Those failures could lead to identity theft among buying insurance. The project manager testified to congressional investigators behind closed doors, but CBS News has obtained the first look at a partial transcript of his testimony.

Henry Chao, HealthCare.gov’s chief project manager at the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), gave nine hours of closed-door testimony to the House Oversight Committee in advance of this week’s hearing. In excerpts CBS News has obtained, Chao was asked about a memo that outlined important security risks discovered in the insurance system.

Chao said he was unaware of a Sept. 3 government memo written by another senior official at CMS. It found two high-risk issues, which are redacted for security reasons. The memo said “the threat and risk potential (to the system) is limitless.” The memo shows CMS gave deadlines of mid-2014 and early 2015 to address them.

Democrat US Rep. Kurt Schrader (OR – 5th) Says “I Think the President Was Grossly Misleading to the American Public” on Obamacare … #You Lie

Grossly Misleading = LIE!!!

From The Weekly Standard, US Representative Kurt Schrader (OR-D) says that President Barack Onama was “Very misleading”  when he said over and over and over the promise that you can keep your health care plan, if you like it. More Democrats try and distance themselves from Obamacare and not the website, Healthcare.gov, but the lies that were told to the People in order to get the law passed.

“I think the president was grossly misleading to the American public. I know right away as a veterinarian, I have my own business, that my policies got cancelled even before the Affordable Care Act. I know that I would change policies on a regular basis, trying to find the best deal for myself and my employees. But a lot of Americans, a lot of Oregonians, have stayed with the same policy for a number of years and are shocked that their policy got cancelled.

“So I think the president saying you could stay with it and not being honest that a lot of these policies were going to get cancelled was grossly misleading to the American public and is causing added stress and added strife as we go through a really difficult time with health care.”

Only About 40,000 Americans are Said to Have Signed Up for Obamacare Insurance Plans on HealthCare.Fail … WH To Inflate Enrollment Numbers

WHAT PART OF OBAMACARE ISN’T A FRAUD ON THE AMERICAN PEOPLE?

THUD … The WAPO is reporting that a meager 40,000 Americans are said to have signed up for Obamacare healthcare insurance plans through the beleaguered and “glitchy” website Healthcare.gov.  This number does not include the 440,000 people have signed up for Medicaid through Barack Obama’s signature piece of legislation. Hmm, looks like the Medicaid folks had no problem signing up for free healthcare. So 40,000 Americans have signed up for a plan where they may or may not receive subsidies and 440,000 have signed up for free healthcare paid by premium paying insured’s. Obamacare is setting up for an epic collapse.

Just how embarrassing is it going to be for Obama and how outraged are the American people going to be when they see so few signed up for Obamacare as opposed to the millions who have lost their healthcare coverage because their insurance policies were canceled due to Obamacare?

Roughly 40,000 Americans have signed up for private insurance through the flawed federal online insurance marketplace since it opened six weeks ago, according to two people with access to the figures.

That amount is a tiny fraction of the total projected enrollment for the 36 states where the federal government is running the online health-care exchange, indicating the slow start to the president’s initiative. The first concrete evidence of the popularity — and accessibility — of the new federal insurance exchange emerged as the White House has been preparing to release this week the first official tally of how many people have chosen coverage using the Web site, HealthCare.gov.

The figure of 40,000 disclosed Monday did not include Medicaid sign-ups. At least 440,000 people have signed up for Medicaid through the health-care initiative, according to Avalere Health, a consulting firm that has been tracking sign-ups. Budget forecasters have projected that in 2014 there will be a much more even balance between private insurance and Medicaid participants.

The story gets even worse, if possible. As opined at Weasel Zippers, in order to inflate what they know are embarrassing Obamacare enrollment  numbers, the Obama White House will be counting people who have a plan sitting in their online shopping cart as being enrolled. UNREAL, only the federal government is allowed to get away with such fraud. Try overstating your sales numbers in the real world or with a publicly traded company to give the false image that you are more viable than you really are. You would wind up in handcuffs.

So Barack Obama Obama and Democrats lied about Obamacare in that you could keep your doctors and healthcare plan if you want to, they would lower the cost of healthcare and that it would be budget neutral. Now they are set to fabricate the number of people who have actually enrolled. But that is the Obama, Alynsky, Chicago way.

Democratic Strategist James Carville Tells Barack Obama to Pick the Crack Pipe Up

This comment by James Carville was so priceless it deserved its own post.

As reported at The Politico, Democratic strategist James Carville stated said yesterday on MSNBC’s ‘The Morning Joe’ that the best thing that President Barack Obama can do with regarding to his plummeting job approval poll numbers is to take a toke on Toronto mayor Rob Ford’s crack pipe. OUCH! Carville was referring to the Toronto mayor who recently finally admitted to smoking crack during a drunken stupor.

“I think the best thing he can do is take a toke on the mayor of Toronto’s crack pipe, because his numbers are about 48,” Carville joked on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” referring to Rob Ford, who has admitted smoking crack.

Ha, normally I use the phrase, “put the crack pip down.” This does not imply that one does drugs, but rather a comment one has made is as if they were on drugs.

Of course Carville after making that crack cocaine reference then went on to defend Obama. However, Carville obviously heard Jay Leno’s joke of Obama, the crack pipe and his poll numbers which does not bode well for Obama as the mockery of his presidency has now reached the pop culture.

Project Veritas Video Nails Obamacare Navigators Committing Fraud & Promoting Deceit

OBAMACARE NAVIGATORS NAILED ON VIDEO PROMOTING FRAUD AND DECEIT …

Bill O’Reilly reported on “The Factor” last night the “Obsession with Obamacare” and the latest problem, one of many, with the presidents signature piece of legislation. Obama had more than enough time and money to implement Obamacare and yet it has been a catastrophic. Enter James O’Keefe and Project Veritas showing Obamacare navigators committing fraud and openly promoting deceit of applicants. The very people who are supposed to walk the applicants through Obamacare and answer questions are outright committing fraud. But what else would you expect from people who do not have to under go a criminal background check.

O’Keefe and the undercover Veritas operatives captured the video in Texas of Obamacare Urban League navigators purposely and willfully instructing the applicants in how to commit fraud against the American tax payer. And I thought Barack Obama was so concerned about waste and fraud? Great, another government program built on lies, fraud and deceit in signing people up. Welcome to community organizing. Hmm, wasn’t Obama one of these folks back in the day?

“This investigation shows just how vulnerable Obamacare is to fraud,” said James O’Keefe. “Taxpayers loose billions due to Medicare fraud and there is a clear possibility of billions more being wasted under a government-run health care system costing taxpayers $1.7 trillion.”

This is just the first video in a series of Obamacare investigations to be released in the coming weeks. The purpose of these investigations is not to advocate for defunding or the repeal of Obamacare but to expose waste, fraud, and abuse within the system.

Watch the Full VIDEO from Project Veritas below … it will make your blood boil

But what else should we expect than fraud and deceit from the very people who are supposed to guide individuals through Obamacare as the namesake of Obamacare, Barack Obama, perpetrated a fraud and lied to the American people to get the law passed in the first place?
