Engates believes that HealthCare.gov would be less confusing if the government had introduced the exchanges in stages.\u00a0 It would have been more efficient to make the service available to one region the first week and then gradually roll the service out to other regions of the country, Engates says. \u00a0He also says that the system would have fewer problems if consumers were allowed to browse the different healthcare plans before registering on the site.<\/p>\n<p>Sebelius acknowledged that the introduction of HealthCare.gov was a \u201cdebacle.\u201d\u00a0 Hopefully, the government and private sector can learn from the challenges of the HealthCare.gov rollout in order to better prepare for future situations regarding large-scale website data integration.<\/p>\n<p><a
