Healthcare Reform

New Insurance Finder Web Tool Released

On August 24, 2010, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services announced the release of a new web tool, available for download at HealthCare.gov, that will make it easier to search for insurance coverage options. "By putting the power of information at your fingertips, HealthCare.gov is helping American families everywhere to take control over their health care and make the choices that are right for them," said HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius. For anyone seeking to understand the new benefits under the Affordable Care Act, the website is an extremely valuable resource.

The Insurance Finder widget enables anyone with a website or blog to embed a tool on their site that allows users to begin the process of searching for insurance coverage options. After users answer two questions ("select a state" and "which best describes you"), they click on "next steps" and are redirected to a page on HealthCare.gov that continues the process. Based on their answers to specific questions, the coverage finder provides a personalized list of coverage choices.
