I told https://www.healthcare.gov/ that I want to apply and live in New York. It immediately gave me a link to http://nystateofhealth.ny.gov/ . I clicked the link, and it says:

> Access Denied > You don't have permission to access "http://nystateofhealth.ny.gov/" on this server.

Why would the top level of such a site have permissions at all?

It works now. It was an oversight with their SSL registration. The link given to the feds was www. Which worked. They just omitted the www.
