Data Security in State Exchanges and Federal Hub is Impossible
CCHF maintains that the speed of implementation will result in insufficient data protections in a PPACA technology infrastructure that is a rich target for data thieves and that patient data will be compromised, and therefore implementation must be halted until patient data security can be assured. CCHF States Senate Passage of MNHIX Bill Damages Citizen Healthcare
“This afternoon, the Minnesota Senate made the final vote to pass the Minnesota Health Insurance Exchange, or MN HIX, bill, which passed by a vote of 39 to 28. Not a single Republican Senator voted for the bill and one Democrat voted in opposition of it during the House vote last week. Unelected Board with the Power to Control Health Plan Availability
The Citizens’ Council for Health Freedom (CCHF, www.cchfreedom.com) launched a new billboard campaign (www.NOTaMarketplace.com) that helps shed light on the appointed, seven-member board of directors that will have authority, under proposed Minnesota legislation, to decide what insurance plans are available on the Minnesota exchange. As a result, Minnesotans will be at the board’s mercy when it comes to having a variety of insurance options available to choose from. CCHF’s “NOTaMarketplace” Billboard Campaign Exposes Federal Deception
The Citizens’ Council for Health Freedom (CCHF, www.cchfreedom.com) launched a new billboard campaign today aimed at exposing the federal government’s deception of the American public in rebranding Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) health insurance exchanges as “marketplaces.” Will Your State Remain Free?
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ deadline for states to partner with the federal government on health insurance exchanges is Friday, February 15. For the 26 states that remain free of Obamacare’s expensive and intrusive grip, the Citizens’ Council for Health Freedom (www.cchfreedom.org) is calling on them to remain firm in their denial of federal, state, or partnership exchanges, all of which lead to federal control of healthcare, intrusiveness into private data for citizens, and costly penalties for a wide range of employers. Obamacare Sticker Shock
Last week, the Department of Health and Human Services unveiled new Obamacare waivers to the individual coverage mandate, offering hardship exemptions to several classes of Americans that do not meet specific income thresholds... the result is a large group of “boomerang” individuals who could not afford coverage previously, thought they’d gain coverage within Obamacare, and now are returning to the government for waivers based on the high cost of coverage and care. Ten States to Connect with “Federal Surveillance Center”
The federal health department recently granted $1.5 billion in aid to states actively building their health insurance exchanges – government entities that feed private data into a ‘Federal Surveillance Center’ that has access to a wide variety of data about all Americans and makes it available to state and federal government agencies... National Biosurveillance Bill Will Collect & Share Health Information Without Consent
This week, the U.S. House of Representatives will consider and debate the merits of H.R. 307, the Pandemic and All-Hazards Preparedness Reauthorization Act of 2013. The act would authorize the federal government to connect online with private clinics and hospitals to collect and share real-time private health information and to share the information nationally and internationally. It also authorizes the updating and enhancement of current biosurveillance activities, at a cost of more than $138 million over the next four years. Executive Order on Gun Control & Healthcare Professionals Violates Spirit of Obamacare
Executive Order # 16 is hypocritical: it pressures patients to respond to intrusive queries from doctors, when PPACA clearly states that they are in no way obligated to disclose such information. If doctors, who are in a position of authority, put patients in the position of having to refuse to answer the doctors’ questions, it puts patients in an awkward position and damages the doctor-patient relationship.” Deceptive Bill Sells PPACA Exchange as One-Stop “Marketplace” for Health Insurance
As Minnesota convened its first session of its 88th Legislature, the Senate’s most important priority was to introduce and begin passage of Senate File 1: a bill for an act relating to commerce and establishing the Minnesota Insurance Marketplace. According to the Citizens’ Council for Health Freedom (www.cchfreedom.org), the bill is deceptive in several ways, most notably in its description of the state healthcare exchange Donate Today!
