Governor Chris Christie appointed Senator Joe Kyrillos to the board of Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Jersey, the state’s largest health insurance company, yesterday.
Kyrillos did not seek reelection to the State Senate this year and will retire from the legislature in January. Assemblyman Declan O’Scanlon was elected on Tuesday to fill the 13th district’s seat in the upper chamber.
Horizon insures approximately 3.8 million New Jersey residents, according to its 2016 annual report. The company had $12 billion in revenue in 2016 and $85 million in net income.
