Comment on Ask HN: Requests for Software – have something you want built?

Comments

I want a product that helps me choose the right health insurance plan based on a set of questions, or even a list of preferences, including who my primary doctor, dentist is etc.

I doubt anyone can build this reliably though. The incentives are simply not there and it isnt an interesting hobby project either

I'm building exactly that in Germany. It's going live tomorrow. The system here is a lot more sane though. It's mostly a recommendation tool for recent immigrants.

Also just the data isn’t available. There isn’t a way I know of to know which doctors even exist or which insurance they use. The insurance companies’ own list is useless.
