As one of those "healthcare executives" I very much agree and wish some of the tools I've helped develop were more available to the public and broader healthcare community.
I would add that there is a somewhat hidden dimension of value that plans and consumers need to consider and that is the breadth and quality of the providers in a plan's network. People will quickly become dissatisfied with a plan with high star rating or actuarial value if it's built on a narrow network or puts in place a lot of "gatekeeping".
Great post, Duncan. Very understandable and love your writing style

Great point Zach! We will be digging into this exact point explicitly next week.
