The site looks nice and very user friendly, compared to most of the sites we see from the government.  There’s a video below that explains how the site works and imagethere are additional tabs with information across the top.  As mentioned in my prior post, there’s no pricing on the page, but rather you can either link to or use a phone number provided to contact the insurance company.

HealthCare.gov Portal Set to Launch July 1, 2010 To Help Consumers Research Policies – Insurer Proprietary Algorithms Will Not Allow for Pricing Information to be Included

In addition you can view the You Tube page for additional videos from HHS.  Additional information about the “Patient Bill of Rights” can be read here. 

One other page of interest is the “timeline” that shows when the different provisions and changes in the laws take place.

The format is useful and seems simple to navigate and at least is a good place to start and then use the link or phone options and go from there.  In October, pricing “estimates” will be included as it’s one big job to work with all the complicated algorithms of the various insurers.
