The U.S Department of Health and Human Services launches HealthCare.gov. According to a press release, the site "will help consumers take control of their health care by connecting them to new information and resources that will help them access quality, affordable health care coverage" and "is the first central database of health coverage options, combining information about public programs, from Medicare to the new Pre-Existing Conditions Insurance Plan, with information from more than 1,000 private insurance plans." HHS says the site will include "price estimates for health insurance plans" starting in October 2010.

Update: President Obama explains how to use the site in a video.
