HR PASSES A BILL TO PROTECT OUR PRIVACY WHILE SEN REID SAYS "THAT'S SILLY"

Americans Have the Right to Know

WASHINGTON, DC – House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) praised House passage of the Health Exchange Security & Transparency Act, legislation introduced by Rep. Joe Pitts (R-PA)  that requires the administration to notify Americans if their information has been compromised on the ObamaCare exchanges.  A total of 67 Democrats voted for the measure: “Americans have the right to know if the president’s health care law has put their personal information at risk, and today’s bipartisan vote reflects that concern.  It shouldn’t take an act of Congress for the White House to provide that information, but the lack of transparency surrounding the security of the ObamaCare website has proven that’s the case.  The House took an important step to help Americans protect themselves in the event of a security breach, and we will continue our oversight of the president’s health care law.  The Senate ought to bring up this bill and pass it immediately.” #####
