Prepare for zero privacy: NSA spying is nothing compared to upcoming Obamacare data collection efforts
(NaturalNews) The one thing you need to know about Obamacare above anything else is that it was not passed to lower your costs or improve healthcare services and delivery. Obamacare is about
cradle-to-grave control, a surveillance state horror that even one-time supporters of the law are beginning to realize (though much too late).
Consider the provisions of this massive law that require collection of your personal information, all in the name of "streamlining" care and "reducing inefficiency." If you thought the NSA's spying was invasive, understand that Obamacare will completely
wipe out the last vestiges of privacy in America.
Earlier this year the
Health and Human Services Department, headed up by former Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius, tipped us off to just how vast the federal government's information collection efforts will be on millions of us, all via Obamacare. From
Investors Business Daily:
Sen. Max Baucus, D-Mont., asked HHS to provide "a complete list of agencies that will interact with the Federal Data Services Hub." The Hub is a central feature of Obamacare, since it will be used by the new insurance exchanges to determine eligibility for benefits, exemptions from the federal mandate, and how much to grant in federal insurance subsidies.
In response, the HHS said the Obamacare data hub will "interact" with seven other federal agencies: The Social Security Administration, the IRS, the Department of Homeland Security, the Veterans Administration, Office of Personnel Management, the Department of Defense and - believe it or not - the Peace Corps. Plus the Hub will plug into state Medicaid databases.
'You can trust us with your information'
What kind of data, exactly, will be routed through this ubiquitous Hub? Oh, just
everything about you - your income, Social Security number, size of your family, immigration status, whether or not you've even been incarcerated, and your enrollment status in other health plans, among other things, according to HHS.
"The federal government is planning to quietly enact what could be the largest consolidation of personal data in the history of the republic," writes Stephen Parente, a
University of Minnesota finance professor. "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."
Oh, but no worries, promises the imperial Obama Administration - the same one that has been spying on us for years and attacking us via the
IRS, EPA and a dozen other federal bureaucracies. "The hub will not store consumer information, but will securely transmit data between state and federal systems to verify consumer application information," says an online government fact sheet (
http://www.cms.gov/CCIIO/Resources/Fact-Sheets-and-FAQs/ffe.html).
Sure; and there is coastline for sale in Arizona.
That lie was exposed by a regulatory notice quietly filed by the administration in February. Per
Investors Business Daily:
That filing http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2013-02-06/html/2013-02666.htm) describes a new "system of records" that will store names, birth dates, Social Security numbers, taxpayer status, gender, ethnicity, email addresses, telephone numbers on the millions of people expected to apply for coverage at the Obamacare exchanges, as well as "tax return information from the IRS, income information from the Social Security Administration, and financial information from other third-party sources."
Obamacare - it's not about healthcare
And understand this: The main
enforcement agency for Obamacare won't be HHS; it will be the
IRS, for it is the government's tax agency to which you must report a) that you have obtained health insurance coverage, as required by the law; or b) that you haven't, in which case you will be penalized with a fine.
In addition, the government plans to store data from businesses that buy coverage through an exchange, including a "list of qualified employees and their tax ID numbers" - information that will be kept on file for a decade (at least).
If you still think Obamacare was about "reforming" - as in, making better - the nation's healthcare system, think again. From the beginning the law was designed to destroy your privacy and keep you under control - and to use your personal information to "manage" your care for the rest of your life.

So, just to clarify a major point in all this; which is the importance to the statists - of either stripe, socialist or fascist - of centralized control of the nation they wish to take over. And thus the frustration to them, and their agendas, of the American form of government; which not only has a Constitution that frustrates the hell out of them, with its emphasis on the rights of the individual as against the power of the state. But is also a federal form of government, not a centralized one. And thus the desire of the Democrat Party, as front for its further left crowd, to attempt to weaken the federal system, and centralize as much as they can, so the Left can take over in one fell swoop. Hence, over the years, all the centralizing influences, in legal actions brought before the SCOTUS (and the MSM lionizing 'activist judges'), and in the various departments of the Executive branch of government. For example, the attempt to establish a Common Core in Education. And hence the likes of ObamaCare. Which, we have seen, is not really about health care. But is about the centralizing of information. And power.
Beware the centralizers. They are up to no good. Mean not to do good. But harm.
Unless, of course, you are one of them. And want to see America turn into a socialist state; as part of a socialist World Order, of absolute state control over the individual.
In which case: I wish you no luck.
