The Boston Globe reports that Jon Kingsdale, an executive with Tufts Health Plan, is the most likely candidate to lead the organization charged with heading insurance reform in Massachusetts. Kingsdale is currently a senior vice president of policy development at Tufts. Kingsdale would head the Health Insurance Connector, the state-run organization charged with implementing Gov. Mitt Romney's reform plan. Under Romney's widely-praised proposal, all residents would be required to purchase insurance. The state will pay for coverage for low-income residents. Importantly, Kingsdale's experience includes work with high-deductible plans.
