Comment on HealthCare.gov Sends Personal Data to Dozens of Tracking Websitesparent

Comments

The entire issue with the ACA and private insurance aside, this particular website does not need to have 18 tracking scripts on it. I'm sure this is just another symptom of the convoluted development process behind the Healthcare.gov mess.

Not sure if you've ever worked on an enterprise website before but this would have nothing to do with the development process. This is all the work of the various marketing/product teams wanting to use the tools they are accustomed to.

It's ridiculous how many times I've seen this happen before.

That depends entirely on whose perspective you use for the definition of need, which is the point of my original comment.
