My comment to this article which was posted on facebook. Also, applies to other articles on this page:

I agree that progress has been made by healthcare.gov. I am glad to see that. I also agree that the main issue is getting folks health insurance who do not have it, or better policies. I am concerned that Maryland is having major problems as well.

[Additional thought: Nevertheless, as noted by several articles, there are still many challenges ahead for these health websites, such as getting the correct info to the insurance companies as too many errors are occurring at that end]

For both systems, I believe comparison tools are needed to be able to optimally compare plans on a variety of dimensions. See my blog about this issue.

Even for the Federal and State sites, comprehensive consumer comparison sites are needed.
