Issa Statement on the Departure of CMS’ Chief Operating Officer and Supervisor of Obamacare Rollout

"Documents and interviews indicate Michelle Snyder's involvement in bypassing the recommendation of CMS' top security expert who recommended delaying the launch of HealthCare.gov after independent testers raised concern about serious vulnerabilities from a lack of adequate security testing.

HealthCare.gov Contractor Rejects Illegal HHS Request to Withhold Subpoenaed Documents from Congress

“Americans should be disturbed that this Administration is trying to stop government contractors from providing Congress with documents related to the decision to launch HealthCare.gov while known and serious security vulnerabilities were and still may be present.
