Embattled Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price resigned on Friday, one day after he apologized for chartering hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of private flights since May.

In his apology, Price said he would reimburse taxpayers just under $52,000, a sum HHS says covers just the cost of his seats on the flights in question. Given that Price’s decision to charter these flights cost the government roughly $400,000, it was ridiculous for the secretary to act like covering only the cost of his seats was anywhere near an adequate gesture.
