Obamacare IT Chief Out; Officials Hedge On Enrollment Data
CNBC ^ | 11/06/13 | Dan Mangan

Has the fumbled rollout of the federal Obamacare site finally claimed its first head?

The IT chief for the agency responsible for Obamacare is leaving to take a job in the private sector, five weeks after the much-criticized launch of HealthCare.gov.

Officials repeatedly refused Wednesday to answer whether Tony Trenkle, the chief information officer of the Centers for Medicare and Medicare Services, was forced out of the job that he has held for three years because of the tech issues with the Obamacare marketplace.

"Tony made a decision to move to the private sector," CMS spokeswoman Julie Bataille said during a conference call the second time a reporter asked if Trenkle was asked or pushed to leave. His departure is effective Nov. 15.

Heard he wouldn't sign-off on the Oct. 1st rollout ...

So, they are spinning the ole reliable "Leaving to pursue other opportunities" routine ...

My question is who is he going with - CGI or QSSI ...

if he is smart ( and I am not saying he is) he should take a job as far from the health care debacle as possible

What idiot dumbass company or CEO would hire someone like Tony Trenkle to work in the IT dept or division, after botching up 0dumb0Care website exchange in such a horrendous.

Oooops, I work for a major computer company with solid liberal retards in the entire group of executives. I just hope that it isn't my company that hired this inept incompetent loser!

But hours after Sebelius' testimony, Bataille, in response to a question by CNBC.com, appeared to leave open the possibility that the enrollment data would not be released next week if officials continued to have questions about their accuracy.

Setting the stage for further obfuscation.

"Questions about their accuracy" means enrollment numbers so small they can only be seen with a scanning tunneling electron microscope.

Actually he may be very competent but was forced by political dictates from above to roll out this god awful mess that is Obamacare before it was ready.

His next private sector job will be his first private sector job:

Or, as Howie Carr refers to it, the “Dreaded Private Sector” or “DPS”.
