Healthcare.gov and personal information I would tell you we are storing the minimum amount of data, because we think that's very important. The hub is not a data collector. It is actually using data centers at the IRS, at Homeland Security, at Social Security to verify information, but it stores none of that data, so we don't want to be... -- HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius I have heard some say that Healthcare.gov doesn't contain much personal information. Let's take a look.
