Following the nomination of Rep. Tom Price (R-GA) for the position of Health and Human Services (HHS) secretary by President-elect Donald Trump, Fred Upton (R-MI), chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, released a statement regarding the announcement.
“The Department of Health and Human Services will have a lot on its plate next year, and I’m glad that we'll have a doctor who knows health care inside and out leading the way,” Upton said. “It’s a brilliant choice. With Dr. Price at the helm, I know we will see meaningful reforms that the American people want and need. I congratulate Dr. Price on this new endeavor, and look forward to continuing working together to improve the state of health care in America."
