(Bloomberg) — Health insurance executives including WellPoint Inc. Chief Executive Officer Joseph Swedish will meet with top White House officials today as President Barack Obama seeks to contain political damage over the rollout of online enrollment for his health-care expansion.
The executives will meet with White House Chief of Staff Denis McDonough and Valerie Jarrett, a senior adviser to President Barack Obama, according to Robert Zirkelbach, a spokesman for industry lobbying group America’s Health Insurance Plans. Swedish, leader of the second-biggest U.S. health plan, will attend, Kristin Binns, a spokeswoman for Indianapolis-based WellPoint, says.
