Without information on the deductible this isn't as useful as it looks. Please add it!

The price of plans varies dramatically by the deductible, and for most healthy people the deductible matters WAY more than the nominal plan level. (Since for ordinary services the different plan levels pay an extra $10-$50, but for a catastrophe the only number that matters is the deductible.)

I completely agree!

We'd love to be able to find this data per-plan, but its not currently easily discoverable for the states without exchanges.

We're hoping to find deductible data in time for these plans as well as more data that would help people differentiate plans such as number of providers in-network nearby.

How hard would it be to do it manually? Maybe with Amazon Turk?
