Now it is a given that
"
President-Elect Donald Trump has chosen Rep. Tom Price, MD (R-GA), an orthopaedic surgeon, to head the US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and help his coming administration repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act (ACA), a burning cause for the congressman, according to media reports tonight."
some important things to know about Dr.Tom price.
the last time he looked at a patient was 2 decades ago he became a full time politician in 1996 as far as I know ( correct me if I am wrong )
it is my personal opinion that Orthopedic surgeons are nothing but "glorified carpenters"
So watch out for the trouble we will have in future with this carpenter trying to improve American healthcare.

In 2011, Price voted to prohibit funding of National Public Radio,[20] to terminate the Emergency Mortgage Relief Program,[21] to extend the USAPATRIOT act,[22][23] to repeal portions of the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 on multiple occasions,[24][25] to reduce non-security discretionary spending to 2008 levels[26][27][28] (and subsequently voted against several amendments offered via motions to recommit with instructions),[29] to reduce Federal spending and the deficit by terminating taxpayer financing of presidential election campaigns and party conventions,[30] to provide funding for government agencies, including the Department of Defense, through September 30, 2011,[31] to cut the Federal Housing Authority's refinancing program,[32] and against a resolution which would force the president to withdraw American forces from Iraq.[33] In 2013, he was the main sponsor of the Require a PLAN Act (mandating that the President identify a fiscal year in the budget will be balanced).[34][35] He voted for the No Budget, No Pay Act[36][37] and a resolution establishing a budget for the United States Government for FY 2014 that passed the House of Representatives.[38]
Tom Price opposes abortion and supported the proposed Protect Life Act, which would have denied Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) funding to health care plans that offered abortion (the PPACA already prevented public funding covering abortions) and allowed hospitals to decline to provide emergency abortion care.[39][40] He was rated at 100 by the National Right to Life Center. He was rated at 0 by Planned Parenthood and NARAL Pro-Choice America.[41][42] He participated in the 2011 March for Life.[43]
Tom Price opposes gun control. He praised the Supreme Court's decisions in District of Columbia v. Heller, which found that the absolute prohibition of handguns in the District of Columbia was unconstitutional, and McDonald v. Chicago, which stated that the Second Amendment applied to the states.[44] He was given an "A" grade by the National Rifle Association Political Victory Fund, a 92% approval rating overall from the National Rifle Association and an 83% approval rating[45] from the Gun Owners of America, and a 0% approval rating from the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence.[42][46]
Tom Price voted against a bill prohibiting job discrimination based on sexual orientation (Nov 2007). He voted in favor of constitutionally defining marriage as one-man-one-woman (Jul 2006). Representative Price voted against H.R. 2965, which would have ended Don't ask, don't tell. He receives a 0% rating by the Human Rights Campaign, a gay rights organization.[47]
Tom Price does not support federal regulation of farming. He has voted against regulating and restricting farmers, earning him a 70% from the American Farm Bureau Federation. However, due to this belief, the National Farmers Union gave him a 0% approval rate.[48] He supported the Farm Dust Regulation Prevention Act, stating that it would keep the Environmental Protection Agency from applying too many regulations to farming and ranching.[49] He also voted for the Agricultural Disaster Assistance Act of 2012 which, had it become law, would have made supplemental agricultural disaster assistance available, if needed.[50][51]
In 2008 Price signed a pledge sponsored by Americans for Prosperity promising to vote against any Global Warming legislation that would raise taxes.[52]
