Rep. Rogers: ‘I Am More Nervous Today than I Was When I Got Here’

ROGERS: "In less than two weeks you are telling me you are constantly changing code, you are introducing new code, you can't quite tell me how that's secure, in any system I have ever seen, two months for a functionality test is not appropriate. Let alone a security check on this information. I am more nervous today than I was when I got here. I am shocked, shocked that on August 30 you get an independent check that says the system is fine and you have introduced new code to that system, probably daily, probably in terms of hundreds of thousands of lines, at least tens of thousands of lines of new code, which creates new vulnerabilities in the system. And you don't even know the answer if these things are end-to-end security tested, and you don't even know the answer -- number one. And number two, you are not even sure if your piece is end-to-end ongoing security tested. I have to tell you, mr. chairman, this is a significant event. You don't have to like ObamaCare. You can hate it, love it, can't wait to get in it. You cannot expose this much information with this low threshold of security in a day when there is 1.5 million people ripped off every day in cybersecurity. Where the folks who are systems administrators and people who sit in front of those portals, are they trained in spearfishing, one of the most basic levels of security protection. Do you know, Ms. Campbell?"
CAMPBELL: "Sir, I have to push back a little in terms of to give the impression that CGI is putting willy-nilly code on a daily basis --"
ROGERS: "-- Ma'am, you know better than that. I am not suggesting that --"
CAMPBELL: "-- We are -- we have --"
ROGERS: "--I am reclaiming my time. This makes me more nervous. You don't have to have willy-nilly code. You can have the best code in the world. ..."
