    The phone broker model exists largely because the plan comparison UI is genuinely unusable for most people, so there is a real problem here worth solving. Curious how you handle the subsidy estimation step. That calculation has a lot of edge cases around household composition, income fluctuations, and APTC reconciliation at tax time. Does Nora surface any caveats around that or does it give a single number? Also interested in how you handle network accuracy. Provider directories are notoriously stale and that is usually where people get burned after picking a plan based on whether their doctor is in-network.

    How difficult was it to get HIPAA compliant in order to ask for health info from consumers?

      Good question. HIPAA applies to covered entities (insurers, hospitals) and their business associates. We're neither - users are entering their information anonymously to do plan comparison. That said, we treat the data very carefully - we don't sell it, don't share it, and enrollment (where PII is collected) is on Healthcare.gov.
