Two new appointments to the Health Connector board yesterday signal a new focus on transparency as the board moves forward to smooth out kinks in the program's troubled website, according to an analyst.
"I'm cautiously optimistic," said Joshua Archambault, a senior fellow for the Pioneer Institute, "The philosophy of people being appointed is very different from positions they've taken in the past. I suspect we'll see a lot more transparency and a much more robust discussion at public meetings."
Gov. Charlie Baker yesterday named insurance executive Mark Gaunya and business consultant Rina Vertes as the newest members of the Connector board, after the recent purge of four members.
"Mark is one of the most knowledgeable insurance brokers in the state," Archambault said. "He's been a huge advocate for transparency."
The meeting yesterday also revealed a proposal from the board to cap the number of plans each carrier can list on the website in an attempt to simplify the selection process. Currently 11 carriers offer 126 qualified health plans. The goal is to get below 100 by limiting each carrier to 14 plans.
Massachusetts Association of Health Plans spokesman Eric Linzer said his group will work with the Connector "to make sure there's still a broad range of options that meet consumers' needs."
