Svetlana Larina/iStock/Thinkstock(WASHINGTON) — A key figure in the rollout of the Affordable Care Act stepped down on Friday.
For nearly five years, Marilyn Tavener oversaw the operations of Medicare and Medicaid, but that agency also produced the troubled insurance marketplace website HealthCare.gov.
Tavener was summoned before Congress in November 2013 to account for the disastrous rollout of the website, where she pledged to have the website working by the end of that month.
Tavener said on Friday she leaves the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services with “sadness and mixed emotions.”
