Unit 5
The house and senate both passed a law recently that required the Obama healthcare website to inform anyone within two days if there information had been compromised in a breach of security. It is reportedly a bill to make a statement, another attempt to delay or ruin obamacare, or so they say. The house claims this is just to prevent the kind of scandal that we had with target not to long ago, but some people are using this as another support of the 'shutdown congress.'
I think this is kinda sad. We have gotten to the point where they have to pass laws to ensure that companies are giving us every opportunity to protect ourselves.shouldn't that just automatically be the case? The article also said that the Obama administration opposed this, saying they would oppose any law that made it harder for those in charge if running the website to do their job. I think that is just a tad bit ridiculous, shouldn't this already be a part of their jobs? And isn't it the job of our government to protect the American people? I don't know why, but something about this new law and e arguments surrounding it just rubs me the wrong way.
Yes, this is kinda sad, but sometimes people get sloppy and then we have to pass laws like this. What's interesting here is that if both the house and senate passed it, then why would the Obama Admin. be against it, even its own side must be against it if seemingly both sides passed it.
