Kaiser CEO to Lead Health Insurer Group

Three of the new board members come from nonprofit Blue Cross and Blue Carriers, two from other nonprofit carriers, and two from companies that focus on selling Medicaid and Medicare plans.

The AHIP board will also include the presidents of CNO Financial Group Inc. and Aflac Inc.'s Aflac U.S. unit.

Marilyn Tavenner, a former administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, who signed off on many Affordable Care Act rules and regulations, will continue to be AHIP's president.

President Donald Trump's administration and Republicans in Congress are continuing to look for ways to revamp Affordable Care Act rules and programs.

"In 2018, we will continue to have a national conversation about how to improve the value of health care," Tavenner said in a statement about AHIP's new board members. "These leaders are committed to ensuring the best use of every dollar spent on coverage and care. I look forward to working with them to promote new ways to improve affordability and quality."
