Join Us for a Special Announcement from the New York Health Benefit Exchange | New York Health Benefit Exchange
Straight from the officials: something is getting announced via webinar tomorrow at 11am.
Check the link if you want to see, or check back here after the announcement for me to just tell you what it was.

Feel free to click the link and watch.
So, the big reveal was
*drumroll please*
The official name will be "nystateofhealth" Yes, one word, all lowercase. And the logo is a silhouette of NY state with a circle around it.
They also showed the commercial, a minute of a bunch of people hugging and being families, 3 seconds of the logo being flashed with the website in subscript.
Navigators will begin training later this month. Call center people will be trained and working by mid-Sept.
We have a bunch of new carriers named for on-exchange:
Today's Options of New York, Inc. (2013 Medicare Advantage Insurance Plans| Universal American Medicare)
healthfirst Free and Low-Cost Health Insurance | Health Insurance NY New York - Healthfirst
Health Republic (no website yet)
Independent Health (www.independenthealth.com)
Market Plus (no website yet)
Oscar (the only entrant they ever mentioned previously, probably because of the founder's connections, hioscar.com, but there is nothing there besides a logo right now.)
If it concerns you that 2.5 of these on-exchange companies that are supposed to integrate with the hub and do all that fancy programming stuff don't even have a website, don't worry, October 1 is a really long time away and everything will be ready.
