The White House acknowledged Saturday that it is open to a proposal for President Obama to appoint a chief executive to oversee the Affordable Care Act -- an ObamaCare czar – following the Department of Health and Human Services handling last year’s disastrous rollout.
The idea is being proposed by a group of healthcare experts that want a new chief executive officer to oversee the ObamaCare's online health-insurance exchanges and to ensure the overall program is ready before the next open-enrollment period that begins in six months, as first reported by Reuters.

The proposal reportedly will be released by the Center for American Progress, founded by John Podesta who left the think tank earlier this year to become a White House senior counsel.
The idea is supposedly to take control of the Healthcare.gov exchange away the federal government and put it in the hands of the better-suited private sector.
