Because I am "literally" trying to recreate a better version of medicare and Medicaid. Those terms are not trademarked. If you look at Medicare.gov and Medicare.com you can see, the term is actually used a ton and the gov does not care. They care much more about bad-faith actors. One of the main benefits is I don't have to tell "regular" people what I am trying to do. This is my "moon-shot project so even if it was an issue I would not change it just to cause a big fuss and get the press from it. The bigger issue was using all of the state HHS logos, but they don't really care about that either.

In preparation for my big launch I needed to test the "do they care" theory so I literally did 2 press releases.

1 targeted directly at the D.C. area and one nationally, every contact they have made with me has been a positive interaction.

I paid for someone to handle this for me, really embarrassed by the title but in their defense I have won 7 health hackathons; much of that work inspired what I am doing here.

Ideally I get to a point where my systems are so much better than theres that I can promote services from .dev to .gov, I really have not thought that far ahead but I would love to discuss.
