R. Steven Orr, 53, designated last week as Maryland's insurance commissioner, said yesterday that oversight of the state's new fund to subsidize medical malpractice rates will rank as his top priority.
Mr. Orr was appointed to the job by Republican Gov. Robert Ehrlich Jr. He must be confirmed for the post by the state senate.
He most recently served as chief information officer for the Universal Underwriters Group (a Zurich Financial Services company). Previously, Mr. Orr was involved in the start-up and operation of businesses specializing in information technology systems and project management.
