Stephen T. Parente and
Paul Howard, writing in USA Today, offered the following
observation: “If you think identity theft is a problem now, wait until Uncle
Sam serves up critical information on 300 million American citizens on a
platter.” We were warned, but almost
nobody was listening.
This
aspect of the Obamacare problem is the new Federal Data Hub. It is a central
agency that collects every scrap of personal data about us from sources such as
the IRS, Social Security Administration, Homeland Security, Department of
Defense, and even the Veteran’s Administration. Not just some of us. All of us.
Parente and Howard stated, “The federal government is planning to quietly enact
what could be the largest consolidation of personal data in the history of the
republic.” What they didn’t know at the time was who would have access to the
database.
