These Guys Just Built the Website Healthcare.gov Should Have Been
- odonnellryan 13y agoThis is silly for a few reasons. The main reason I see is that HealthCare.Gov does a lot more than search for the plans. It also calculates an adjustment that depends on how much you make a year. To me, that part is a lote more important than a search-by-zip website. Not to defend HealthCare.Gov. It was horribly launched.

Which has to be done somewhere in the process, since it results in a draw on the Federal fisc, payments from the treasury to an insurance company.
