Calif. health exchange shares data without consent

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The California health exchange says it’s been giving the names of tens of thousands of consumers to insurance agents without their permission or knowledge in an effort to hit deadlines for coverage.

Hey, we’re the Ruling Class.  We don’t need no steenking consent.

It’s interesting, isn’t it?  If you don’t hand over your particulars to the hacker’s heaven that is the Obamacare web site, then the state exchanges will hand them out anyway.

So you’re trading your liberties for safety and security?  Guess what.  You’re going to get, and deserve, neither.
