A group of young, tech-savvy San Franciscans flaunched a website to help Americans sort through insurance options.

There has been plenty of frustration over the failures of the website healthcare.gov.

Here in California of course we have our own health insurance exchange, but that didn't stop a group of young, tech-savvy San Franciscans from launching a website to help Americans sort through insurance options.

The site is called The Health Sherpa and here to tell us more about it is one of its creators, George Kalogeropoulos.
