The insurers that wanted to offer plans had to meet the requirements. Medicare rules were changed, re-imbursments were changed. It affects our whole insurance system. It's huge. It's not just a website. If there were NO website, you would still be able to enroll via pone or mail.

Loved the part where the person who created some "simple websites" said it shouldn't be hard! To bad they didn't bid the project.
