NEW HAVEN, CT—Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro (D-CT) released the following statement today applauding the news Access Health CT CEO Kevin Counihan will be the new CEO of healthcare.gov.

“Connecticut’s loss is the nation’s gain. Kevin did a tremendous job in the opening year of Access Health CT, which has become a model for the entire country. His strong leadership is a big part of the reason why Connecticut cut its insurance rate nearly in half and had one of the most successful launches of any state exchange. I am sad to see him move on, but look forward to seeing the good work he will do to ensure all Americans have access to quality, affordable health care.”
