The federal government is gearing up to choose vendors to find out what public exchange users think of the exchanges and their qualified health plan (QHP) coverage. The government thinks of the first round of QHP “enrollee experience” surveys, which is supposed to take place from January 2015 through April 2015, as a survey beta test.
Some people didn’t want the government to let anyone release the consumer survey beta test data. The government is not planning to release the data itself, because it understands that there may be concerns about survey nuts and bolts, but it will let the exchanges and QHPs post the data, if they want.
On the one hand: I loathe grades myself. I live in terror of them. If I go to the website that counts article page views, I can spend all day trying to look at the numbers in some way that will make them seem bigger.
Of course, the page view counting system must have huge technical flaws. Otherwise, the system would show that all of my articles get millions of views per day.
If I get good numbers, I wonder what system error or hacking led to the good numbers. Have hackers decided to use one of my more successful PPACA articles as a platform for doing something inappropriate?
But, on the other hand, part of the whole idea of having an exchange, or marketplace, rather than a feudal lord just telling us what to do, is that markets give people a way to share cold hard truths.
