As was the case when millions of Americans lost their insurance plans, President Obama’s national healthcare law has once again caused something that its supporters and administration officials swore up and down would never happen. In July, hackers breached the computer system of the federal Healthcare.gov insurance exchange. Officials only discovered the breach in late August.

Although the White House reports that no personal information was compromised in this attack, the system’s vulnerability is evident, and the intelligence of those running it is not. They failed to conduct required security scans on the server in question, and also left it protected by the manufacturer’s default password.
