Three months ago Tony Trenkle sent a letter to the administration telling them that ObamaCare was only about 50% ready and would not be ready by the roll out date.

Guess when...?  November 15th 2013

COINCIDENTALLY, that is the same date as we are SUPPOSED to be told how many people have signed up for ObamaCare.

How many think it will be both an ACCURATE COUNT AND DISCLOSE the demographics of who has PAID.

HealthCare.gov [aka ObamaCare] Tech Leader is Leaving

By Clint Boulton
Reporter.

The technology leader of the federal agency overseeing HealthCare.gov exchange is out. Tony Trenkle, the CIO of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, is leaving for the private sector Nov. 15, according to an email sent to agency employees on Wednesday.

In a letter provided to CIO Journal, CMS COO Michelle Snyder said that Dave Nelson, currently director of the Office of Enterprise Management, will serve as acting CIO upon Mr. Trenkle’s departure. Mr. Nelson will inherit Mr. Trenkle’s $2 billion annual budget for IT. The letter did not mention how the move affects CMS Deputy CIO Henry Chao’s status.

An agency spokeswoman declined to comment on whether Mr. Trenkle was asked to resign, saying he had decided to leave for a job in the private sector.

HealthCare.gov, which the Obama administration spent about $500 million to build, has been troubled by slow-loading Web pages and outages since its launch Oct. 1. Despite a “tech surge” intended to get HealthCare.gov operating as expected, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius told lawmakers on Wednesday that contractors must fix “a couple of hundred” problems with the website.

And now, Mr. Trenkle’s exit."
