11. This is a report from last Wednesday, and

it's all BS media speculation and salivating.

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid (CMS) said on Wednesday that Tony Trenkle, the agency’s top technology executive, will step down on Nov. 15 “to take a position in the private sector.” CMS Chief Operating Officer Michelle Snyder delivered the news in an e-mail to employees.

During congressional testimony last month, lawmakers pressed contractors for names of officials who served as the points of contact for HealthCare.gov’s development. CGI Federal senior vice president Cheryl Campbell identified several: Snyder, Chao and “Peter Oh,” an apparent reference to Mark Oh, the director of Medicare’s Health Insurance Marketplace division.

The announcement on Wednesday didn’t mention the employment status of Tavenner, Chao or Oh, but it said CMS Deputy Director Tim Love would serve as Snyder’s new No. 2. In the e-mail, Snyder said she was “grateful for the dedication and expertise” that Love and Trenkle have brought the agency through their years of service.

The personnel moves this week raise questions about who, if anyone, will be the next to depart from CMS in the wake of HealthCare.gov’s failed start. Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius and Nancy-Ann DeParle, the former White House’s healthcare-reform director, are the two highest-level officials who would be among the vulnerable.
