that's a big concern for many people. the centers for medicaid and medicare services has taken steps to reassure the public that data security and privacy on the new health insurance exchanges are strong. these efforts include a public education campaign to help people avoid scam artists taking advantage of the public's confusion about the affordable care act. in fact many experts on the subject i've talked to say that a bigger threat to the security of our personal information is human error specifically falling prey to common scams that have cropped up in response to the law. the scams range from fake websites claiming to sell obamacare health insurance policies for under $30 a month to scam artists trying to get consumers to reveal personal information. the best we can do is to be vigilant about our own information. remember that the federal government never calls or emails so if you're contacted by someone claiming to be from the government asking for information don't respond.
how secure will our personal information be when applying for health insurance on the exchange?
