In the world of politics, HealthCare.gov is either a bold agent of health care system change or a demonic agent of those scoundrels in Washington.
In the world of health insurance sales, HealthCare.gov is just another distribution channel. The system handles Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act exchange enrollment for the states in which the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services provides exchange services.
HHS has still not persuaded the states running state-based exchanges to report their exchange performance data in the format HHS uses for HealthCare.gov, and HHS does not make it easy to compare data for the 2014 open enrollment period with data for the 2015 open enrollment period.
