Henry Chao: Remember that Name

I wrote about a high-level Asian in the Obamacare design in Todd Park: Remember That Name. I said:

[I]t is much later on that we hear that Obamacare's "main architect" is an Asian - Todd Park.

Well, we're learning now that there is another high level official who is an Asian: Henry Chao.

Fox News reports today that:

...Henry Chao, Deputy Chief Information Officer at the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, testified at a House subcommittee on Energy and Commerce hearing that the site will be “greatly improved” by the end of the month -- not fixed.

Chao said Tuesday [November 19, 2013] that up to 40 percent of the technical systems supporting the federal health insurance marketplaces have not yet been built, including a system to issue payments to insurance companies, The Washington Post reported.

[...]

At Tuesday's hearing by a subcommittee of the House Energy and Oversight Committee, Chao, who is widely seen as the operational official most knowledgeable about ObamaCare's online system, said he never saw the McKinsey report.(Read more at Foxnews.com: Sebelius says ObamaCare website will remain a work in progress after key deadline
