Hush my mouth, I tooled around their site a little, and they do estimate your subsidy, based on income and number of people in your household. So right now, this is much more useful that HealthCare.gov - at least for information purposes.
One of the major sticking points about HealthCare.gov was that you had to create an account. This was done so that information could be gathered to provide you with pricing after subsidies. The idea was to lessen the sticker shock. I haven't read it explicitly in regard to this site, but I'm assuming it does not calculate your subsidy for you.
In the US, the "last mile" tends to be "the last 14 miles" People forget that the average country is a fraction of the size of the US, heck, some states are bigger than the majority of other countries.
Basically, the US would bump up against the edges of ALL OF EUROPE if laid over the top.
The comparisons, from the get go, are just plain stupid if they neglect these facts.
I don't have moderation points, so let me just say 'thank you' for getting this out there.
As a programmer currently living and working in Kentucky, I am also proud of the state's website offering. Of course Obamacare should be thrown on a fire, and it will probably be crushed under its own weight if not heavily modified, but I'm glad we made a functional website.

You think Young Earth Creationism is extreme? UNIX adherents believe the Earth is only 44 years old!
So, like Slashdot then?
Look for future headlines like this:
Iowa State AIDS Researcher Admits To Falsifying Findings - What He Did Next Will Blow Your Mind
Just another example of Man thinking he has everything figured out only to be made a fool of by nature.
History shows again and again how nature points up the folly of man.
Exactly - real Libertarians buy guns!
Urban legend has it that if your building gets bombed, everybody gets automatic A's.
Always interesting to hear the Henrietta Pussycat perspective on cloud computing.
...2) I thought the standard models had eleven dimensions and not ten ...
Look, the standard model has these eleven- *CRASH* - Oy! I mean ten - TEN dimensions!
You know.... Michael, Tito, the rest.
Uhh... "Informative"?
A good joke, but I think you dropped some precision.
Oh boy, I can't wait to load this onto my Commodore 64!
Seriously, though, that's a testament, IMHO, as to how compact and efficient these folk manage to make this software.
Yes, seriously!
Q. How do you know your country is NOT a democracy or a republic?
A. Your country has "Democratic" or "Republic" in it's name.
It's the great promise of Socialism.
Stupidity and malice for the win!
That's cool. I was repeating what I had heard. Out of curiosity, do you have a link and what state you are in?

Now if they can just develop breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
I would try it, but I can't seem to find a URL to access it. Do you have a link?
Just Google it.

From the context, I was picturing a group of manager-types, lounging around in 3-piece suits, hitting the pipe...
Well here's just the GIF!
...you'd have the kid who couldn't visit his dying grandmother one last time and the student who had to drop out of university on the news...
Quick, somebody call President Obama!
