Rep. Tom Price, R-Ga., a major critic of Obamacare, is being floated as the next secretary of Health and Human Services.
Price was an early supporter of President-elect Trump and has been a vocal critic of Obamacare. He has also put out a replacement plan that mirrors several provisions in Trump’s healthcare plan and a plan issued by House GOP leadership earlier this year.
Politico first reported his consideration as HHS secretary, and said former Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal is also a possible candidate.
Price is an orthopedic surgeon and the chairman of the House Budget Committee.
If he were selected, Price would be in charge of an agency that encompasses the Food and Drug Administration and Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
