President-elect Donald Trump has chosen House Budget Committee
Chairman Tom Price (R., Ga.) as his nominee for secretary of the Health
and Human Services Department, according to a transition team adviser,
putting the six-term congressman in charge of the sprawling agency that
will likely dismantle Democrats’ 2010 health-care overhaul.
Mr.
Price, a 62-year-old former orthopedic surgeon, is one of several GOP
physicians who sought to carve out a leading role in shaping the party’s
health policy and, in particular, the party’s alternative vision to
Democrats’ Affordable Care Act. Much of his criticism of the law has
centered on the authority it gives to the federal government, and to the
agency that he may now head.
