Welcome to HealthCare.gov


By Todd Park, Chief Technology Officer

Posted June 30, 2010

HealthCare.gov launches today. It’s a website designed to help you take control of your health care – by putting the power of information at your fingertips.

It’s the first website to collect both public and private health insurance options across the nation in a single place. Even better, our insurance options finder automatically sorts through this huge catalog of options to help you identify the ones that may be right for you.

Other highlights of the site include extensive information about your rights as a consumer, how to navigate the health insurance marketplace, and how the Affordable Care Act can help you – all tailored to you.

We’re proud of all the hard work that’s gone into the site in the last 90 days, but there’s plenty more to come. And you have a big role to play.

Throughout the site you’ll find yellow boxes that ask you to tell us whether or not you find a given page helpful. Tell us what you like, what you don’t, what’s missing, and what we can do to improve. We’re listening. This is your site, not ours. With your help, we’ll make HealthCare.gov even better.

To get started, you can take a quick video tour of the site.
