" PPACA makes significant changes in the way health insurance in the United States is provided, including changes to private health insurance coverage. GAO was asked to examine the resources that CCIIO used and expects to use in implementing the private health insurance provisions of PPACA. GAO's objective was to identify resources that CCIIO received, used, and expects to use from enactment of PPACA through fiscal year 2014, including certain categories of expenditures, the sources of funding, and the total number of staff, along with the number of staff reassigned from other units. To perform this work GAO obtained the information requested and compared it to available supporting documentation, reviewed available related policies and procedures, and interviewed CMS officials. "
