$1.4 trillion spent by millions of consumers in a free market will produce far better healthcare than $1.4 trillion spent by the USG. When it comes to making choices, the market is far, far more efficient than the political system.
As for the drop in the bucket, it was to produce a web app by which those millions of consumers are supposed to find health care plans, not actual health care. The drop in the bucket is a miserable failure! It should serve as an index of what to expect from the system, as currently constituted.
There should be no USG health care site. Consumers should be free to type "health care" in their search bar and select the best one they find. High deductible or low deductible. Across state lines. Birth control covered or not. Mental or not. It should be like choosing a smart phone. And the government's role should be limited to keeping the suppliers honest.

Agreed. But not by the government.
