Haha, yeah, I spend hours across two days on those government health exchange sites (the US one and NY one) just trying to get a quote. Kept erroring out and forgetting my history and other problems.

Meanwhile Freelancer's Union site was great: http://freelancersunion.org/

I got a quote easily before I had to do any quizzes. The gov ones were not like that. There were a few documents that had to be emailed in for verification, but they took care of that promptly. There was one bug related to zip+4 not being supported and not being changeable after entering, but they answered the phone immediately and fixed it in a minute.
