However, many are pointing to its claim of being designed to <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A<span class=\"rte rte-comment\">nother<\/span> key feature <span class=\"rte rte-comment\">is <\/span>empowers<span class=\"rte rte-comment\">ing<\/span> Americans to take <span class=\"rte rte-comment\">better <\/span>control of their digital security through multi<span class=\"rte rte-comment\">&#8211;<\/span>factor authentication \u2014\u00a0<span class=\"rte rte-comment\">. That certainly<\/span>a move that should resonate with <span class=\"rte rte-comment\">many <\/span>concerned citizens<span class=\"rte rte-comment\"> that have deep concerns about their digital security<\/span>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While the president&#8217;s plan<span class=\"rte rte-comment\"> these <\/span><span class=\"rte rte-comment\">seems<\/span><span class=\"rte rte-comment\"> to have<\/span>\u00a0has <span class=\"rte rte-comment\">many <\/span>positive aspects, critics <span class=\"rte rte-comment\">some are quick to <\/span>point out that this equates to <span class=\"rte rte-comment\">nothing more than <\/span>more regulations for the private sector but<span class=\"rte rte-comment\"> with<\/span> no additional budget to become compliant. That is becoming an all too common response when the government tries to deal with the growing threats to digital security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, <span class=\"rte rte-comment\">Another <\/span>CNAP <span class=\"rte rte-comment\">area that has some expressing concerns is the paragraph that <\/span>calls on health care insurers and providers to step up efforts to protect sensitive, personal health care information. The plan says <span class=\"rte rte-comment\">states\u00a0It is doubtful that <\/span>health care executives should<span class=\"rte rte-comment\">,<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"rte
