Thanks for pointing this out!

We currently include the plans from all counties in a particular zipcode rather than limiting to a specific county, but we should probably ask a user to specify their county if there's ambiguity. I'll get on adding this.

As for the data itself, it's current as of two weeks ago which is already slightly stale. This said, the data will only be as updated as the Healthcare.gov data from https://data.healthcare.gov/dataset/QHP-Individual-Medical-L...

NC may be somewhat specific, but per reports a few weeks ago, only BCBS was offering ACA-compliant plans in all 100+ counties - Coventry was the only other option, and they were covering 36 counties. They may have changed that recently, but I'm not 100% sure on that.

EDIT: and thanks for your project - nice use of the data to help people get fast/easy access!
