Calif. health exchange shares consumers' data without permission | Fox NewsThe California health exchange has admitted it has been divulging contact information for tens of thousands of consumers to insurance agents without their permission or knowledge in an effort to hit deadlines for coverage.
Covered California said it was handing out consumer information as part of a pilot program to help people enroll ahead of a Dec. 23 deadline to have health insurance in place by the new year, according to the Los Angeles Times. The consumers in question had gone online to research insurance options, but didn't ask to be contacted.
I know how much we all just love to get bothered by telephone calls from sales people. But who told the government that it was O.K. to give out your contact information to them?
This is another example of what happens when Government gets involved into things they shouldn't be involved with.
