Issues:
Have a link labeled 'Home' on every page on the site, except for the home page.
Line 1 Usability.gov 5:1
Many sites place the organization's logo on the top of every page and link it to the homepage.
While many users expect logos are clickable, around 25% will not realize that links to the homepage.
Therefore, include a link labeled 'Home' near the top of the page to help those users.

Omitting IMG WIDTH or HEIGHT attributes means page text jumps about as images load.

This makes the page very hard to read while it's loading, and the user may click on the wrong link if it moves as it's being clicked.

<h2>Why should I use the Marketplace?</h2>
<h3>High-quality coverage</h3>
<p>All Marketplace plans offer the same set of comprehensive benefits. They cover things like pre-existing conditions, pregnancy, hospitalizations, prescriptions, doctor’s visits, and more.</p>
<p><a href="/what-does-marketplace-health-insurance-cover">See a full list of benefits</a></p>
<h3>Lower insurance costs</h3>
<p>Most people will get some help with costs. You may qualify for lower costs on your monthly premiums and out-of-pocket costs. You may be able to get free or low-cost coverage from Medicaid or CHIP.</p>
<p>Learn more about <a href="/how-can-i-save-money-on-marketplace-coverage">cost savings on health insurance</a> or <a href="/do-i-qualify-for-medicaid">Medicaid</a></p>
<h3>Coverage in all states</h3>
<p>No matter where you live, you can use the Marketplace to compare plans and enroll in coverage.</p>
<p>See what your state is doing:</p>
<h2>How the Marketplace works</h2>
<h3>Create an account</h3>
<p>First provide some basic information. Then choose a user name, password, and security questions for added protection.</p>
<h3>Apply</h3>
<p>Next you’ll enter information about you and your family, including your income, household size, other coverage you're eligible for, and more.</p>

>Use this checklist</a> now to help you gather the information you’ll need.</p>
<h3>Pick a plan</h3>

Use link text between 3 and 80 characters so it's long enough to be understood, but avoids line wrapping.

Absolute units are CM, MM, IN, PC and PT. When used with fonts PX is also considered an absolute unit,
because it isn't relative the user's preferred font size.
Low-vision users often use the "large fonts" mode of Windows, which makes each pixel larger than usual.
This usually causes problems with pixel based layouts, which also perform badly on handheld
and widescreen displays. Percentage values "stretch" according to screen size and work on a large
range of display sizes.
14px;

#webchat .icon {
position:
absolute;
Absolute CSS positioning can make pages unreadable when style sheets are turned off.
Low vision users often switch off style sheets to make text easier to read.
Absolute positioning can result in pages that display text out-of-order when style sheets are turned off.
