Admin To Launch 'Direct Enrollment' Obamacare Pilots In Three States

7. well, let's put it this way...if you're looking for a good deal on something you'll be paying

monthly for the next year and that has all kinds of cost trade offs like deductible level, max out of pocket, etc. I would think getting the best broad comparison information first would be the best idea. However, I guess if some are willing to gamble that they'd rather have simplicity and convenience at risk of getting rooked by the insurance provider, that is their wish.

I just think out of all the options (website, phone call, in-person and now this version) phone call would be the easiest for those who are technology challenged and don't want to go through a bunch of screens. That way they know they are getting a fair comparison across multiple competing companies.

But that's just me.

Also, you pay a one-time fee to H.R. BLock or other tax preparer, and any missed savings for YOU don't go to them--they go to the government. So it is a bit different and in my mind not a very good comparison.
