The official in charge of developing the Affordable Care Act's website is retiring from federal service on Tuesday.

Michelle Snyder, the chief operating officer of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, had intended to leave last year after four decades in public service but stayed on to "help me with the challenges facing CMS in 2013," the agency's chief, Marilyn Tavenner, wrote in an email to staff on Monday.
