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

Comments

A Department of Health and Human Services organ called the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services is responsible for the site. An enterprising HN reader might want to skim through the CMS (very long) privacy impact assessment to see if there are any other incorrect claims about Healthcare.gov: http://www.hhs.gov/pia/cms-pia-summary-fy12q4.pdf

Is there any way to split this up so each person is responsible for a section? you'd miss a lot by missing context... but if the section readers bullet pointed everything, that could be combined into a larger context.

Or, in HN speak, we could crowdsource a real-world Map/Reduce job to support big data in the citizen-scientist.

I love the idea of a real-world map/reduce job. :) But before spending any time on this, please make sure it's the right PDF. It does mention Healthcare.gov, but only a few times, and I'm no expert on HHS organizational structure. Here's the full directory of PIAs: http://www.hhs.gov/pia/
