Senate Republicans are finally taking action against yet another Democrat data disaster, as Health Committee Chairman Bill Cassidy (R-LA) launches a full investigation into Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker's catastrophic mishandling of a massive health records breach that exposed the private medical information of 700,000 state residents.
The exclusive investigation comes as Americans are waking up to the reality that Democrat-run states can't be trusted to protect their most sensitive personal information. While Pritzker has been busy pushing his progressive agenda and eyeing a potential presidential run, his administration was letting hackers feast on Illinois families' private health data.
Senator Cassidy is demanding detailed records from the Illinois Department of Human Services, and frankly, it's about time someone held these incompetent Democrat bureaucrats accountable. How many more Americans need to have their privacy violated before we admit that big government can't handle basic cybersecurity?
Another Democrat Security Failure
This isn't just some minor glitch – we're talking about 700,000 Illinois residents who trusted their state government to protect their most personal medical information. Instead, they got the typical Democrat response: bureaucratic incompetence wrapped in progressive talking points.
The timing couldn't be more telling. While President Trump's administration is working overtime to secure our borders and protect American data from foreign adversaries like China, Democrat governors like Pritzker can't even secure a basic state database. It's almost like they're more concerned with virtue signaling than actually governing.
"Every American deserves to know that their personal health information is secure, especially when they're forced to hand it over to government agencies," a Senate Republican aide told reporters.
The investigation will likely reveal what we already suspect: another case of Democrat negligence putting American families at risk while the media stays silent. Thank God we have senators like Cassidy willing to do the heavy lifting that the mainstream press refuses to do.
How many more data breaches will it take before Americans realize that putting Democrats in charge of sensitive information is like hiring the fox to guard the henhouse? Illinois families deserve answers, and they deserve them now.
