Trump chooses Tom Price as Health and Human Services secretary
- 7 years ago
President-elect Donald Trump has chosen Tom Price, a leading opponent of Obamacare, to lead the Health and Human Services department. If Price is confirmed by the Senate, he could play an important role in repealing and replacing the Affordable Care Act. The 62-year-old lawmaker played a vital role in the Republican opposition to the law and has helped draft several bills to replace it. Price has previously suggested that a Trump presidency would help push forward the House GOP health-care agenda.
