I’m on Medicare so I’m out of the loop here but when I read that you had to register and give personal info BEFORE you could check rates I was appalled.
They must think everyone has the IQ of a rock.

On the state sites you definitely don't have to do that.
I continue to think that governors who refused Expanded Medicaid and the state exchanges , given the realities of the situation, did not do their citizens any favors.
Also, you may be back "in the loop" eventually when everything collapses and single payer emerges.
