Player: Gary Cohen.

Position: Director of the Center for Consumer Information and Insurance Oversight.

• CCIIO is an arm of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, which is, in turn, an arm of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
• CCIIO is in charge of the HHS effort to implement the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act , including establishing the minimum medical loss ratio system, the commercial health insurance rate review system, the public exchanges, and, that Obamacare fan favorite, HealthCare.gov
• HHS originally called the agency the Office of Consumer Information and Insurance Oversight and wanted it to have the same kind of independent existence that the Employee Benefits Security Administration has at the U.S. Department of Labor. But HHS folded the office into CMS to protect it against Republican efforts to kill it.

The latest: CMS Administrator Marilyn Tavenner announced in an e-mail sent to agency employees that Cohen will be voluntarily leaving March 31 – at the end of the first open enrollment period for the individual commercial plans sold through the exchanges.

Date signed: Cohen was named the permanent CCIIO director in August 2012.
