How can CMS.gov content and information architecture/navigation be improved?

You've used all your votes and won't be able to post a new idea, but you can still search and comment on existing ideas.

There are two ways to get more votes:

  • When an admin closes an idea you've voted on, you'll get your votes back from that idea.
  • You can remove your votes from an open idea you support.
  • To see ideas you have already voted on, select the "My feedback" filter and select "My open ideas".

If a similar idea already exists, you can vote and comment on it.

If it doesn't exist, you can post your idea so others can vote on it.

    • Zipped Files

      For two months now, all zipped files are coming up as corrupt when you attempt to open them. This is significantly hampering our ability to read posted manuals, notices and regulations. How much longer before it will be fixed?

      • The new sites look user friendly and appear to be mapped out well

        The drop down menus at the top in the Medicaid page appear confusing when the links almost disappear before your mouse gets right on top and turns them black. I think for older people this could be an annoying factor.
