The title of the piece is actually "Short Trip" as seenin the title tag and the end of the experience. It seems the HN submitter chose "simulator."

We're on Rails 4 now for the general "Chorus" codebase (but you're right, we include a number of varied apps under the same umbrella when talking about our platform)

Hey Connor, awesome work. You would have saved us a lot of work had you created this a year ago ;)

Disclosure: I live with a benefits broker.

I'm interested in your friend's story. At 23, male, in VA I had absolutely no trouble buying an individual policy. I have some health issues, but nothing major, but I was able to secure a decent policy for just over 100$/month. MD should be even easier (if more expensive), considering there is no medical underwriting in MD.

Here's a blog post from Trevor Davis at Viget that summarizes the argument pretty well: http://www.viget.com/inspire/html5-elements-irresponsible-ch...
