Having done a bang up job on the Healthcare.gov rollout (after retaining virtually every private sector company with relevant skills to fix the 500 million-lines-of-code monster), Jeff Zients, as we reported previously, is set to become director of the National Economic Council (perhaps he will next roll out a database where America's unemployed sign up). But what is more notable is that his replacement in leading the overhaul of the Obamacare exchanges is a former executive from Microsoft. Kurt DelBene, whose wife just happens to be Democratic Congresswoman Suzan DelBene. What could possibly go wrong as cronyism brings Blue Cross together with the Blue Screen of Death?

he was a president for one of the world's tech leaders that administered one of the most successfull computer programs ever. Yet he shouldn't be a candidate for this post?
ReplyDeleteOf course not 10:43 then it might actually work.
ReplyDeleteActually Microsoft puts out an inordinate amount of crappy glitchy products. THey also steal intellectual property from their designers, colluded with the NSA, and many other dubious actions. The fact that Microsoft has been on the forefront of the NSA leaks concerns me. Was a deal made that we don't know about? People do not get positions like this without first playing hard ball for he right team. SO yes people should be concerned about this appointment.
