CT’s health insurance exchange is moving very quickly to hire a CEO. The job description includes good language about consumer education and policy background. It mentions management skills but does not mention familiarity with active purchasing on behalf of consumers. Applications are due by Nov. 9th. The Board will choose three finalists but the Governor chooses the CEO from that list. Board membership has been criticized for having no consumer representatives and including three members with strong ties to the insurance industry.
