"1. Online. The individual can log in ... then report a life change"
Previously, all status changes (moves, marriages, divorces, income adjustment, etc) had to be reported to the Marketplace by telephone. On the one hand, it's a toll-free number, but the problem I've always had with that was the lack of a "paper" trail (pixels would be fine, as well). Well, now that objection is resolved, and I feel better about the process going forward.
