The Price Is Right

Congressman Tom Price of Georgia is said to be the choice of President Elect Donald Trump to be Secretary of Health and Human Services.  As a doctor (orthopedic surgeon), Price has a much different perspective than those who have held the office in the past.  He well understands the effects of massive federal regulations on both the cost and quality of healthcare in America.  Turning healthcare into a bureaucracy rather than medical treatment should slow and hopefully reverse with Price as Secretary of HHS.  Even more important, Price will be able to help guide the repeal and replacement of Obamacare.  Indeed, the bill passed last year to do just that (which Obama vetoed) was written mainly by Price.

Without a doubt, Price will change the course of the department if anyone can.  He is an excellent nominee for the position.
