HealthCare.gov is the U.S. government’s effort to help consumers understand how they’ll be affected by the 907-page health overhaul signed into law three months ago.
The website, started July 1 by the Department of Health and Human Services, offers an insurance plan finder, a rolling Twitter feed to distribute information on policy changes (1,260 followers and counting) and YouTube.com-hosted videos of senior citizens, young adults, pregnant women, and disabled people explaining the law’s benefits from the Obama administration’s point of view. It also provides a breakdown of the legislation, Bloomberg’s Businessweek reports in its July 12 issue.
