Democrats are grasping at straws in a feeble attempt to derail Dr. Tom Price’s nomination to be our next Department of Health and Human Services Secretary. They know full well that Dr. Price represents the biggest threat to repealing and replacing their “Unaffordable” Care Act. A proven and effective leader, Dr. Price is by far the most competent choice to deliver on the promise to repeal a law that has inflicted real pain upon America’s families.
Having known Dr. Price for decades, I can attest that he’s a man of upstanding character and someone who has dedicated his life’s work to serving others. A physician for more than 30 years, Dr. Price cared for patients as an orthopaedic surgeon both at a major hospital that met the needs of our community’s poor and working class families, as well as in his private practice that has become one of the country’s largest non-academic orthopedic surgery facilities in America. The takeaway from his time as a physician is simple: patients should have the power to make their own healthcare decisions, not Washington, DC bureaucrats.
