From the discussion between Rep Cory Gardner and Henry Chao, (deputy chief information officer for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services), one might surmise that the Obamacare Website is about 60 percent complete, and it is the payment systems which send money to the companies which issue policies.
“There’s the back office systems, the accounting systems, the payment systems … they still need to be done,” said Chao.
This ought to make the health insurance companies really comfortable…..
Meanwhile, David Kennedy, head of TrustedSEC, an information security firm, has testified before the house Science, Space and Technology committee that the Obamacare website is prime hacker bait, because security wasn’t built into the site from the beginning. He thinks that the SQL injection attacks against the healthcare.gov website mean that it’s being hacked right now. That should make everyone feel more secure in doing business with the Obama administration.
