Thanks for doing this. I still think completely replacing it from October to ~December, and extending the deadlines, might have been a reasonable choice, and re-architecting to move all PII related stuff away from the "shopping" stage and only into the final request stage, but I guess it's better now. The "replace everything, end all the contracts, etc." option might not have been politically viable, and showing people the pre-subsidy prices with subsidy adjustments later in the process probably would have been a bad political move, too.

(I'm not in a federal marketplace state, though, and I ended up having my insurance canceled under ObamaCare and got a 364 day short term $750k policy instead. Still no idea what I'm doing in 2015.)
