Almost three times as many people have signed up for healthcare coverage through state-run health exchanges than through the federal government’s marketplace as part of the Affordable Care Act, the Department of Health and Human Services reported Wednesday.

The problem with the plagued rollout of healthcare.gov isn’t so much a technical issue, but rooted in a larger management challenge and failure to adopt private-sector best practices in launching IT projects, according to testimony heard at the Nov. 13 hearing on the Affordable Care Act Health Insurance Marketplace.

New York Governor Andrew Cuomo announced the launch of the state's first open data platform, open.ny.gov, to provide "unprecedented transparency across all levels of government and gives the people user-friendly access to vast quantities of information on our State."
