Yesterday, we spoke to the chair of the Massachusetts Health Policy Commission, Stuart Altman, about Seema Verma, President-elect Donald Trump's choice to head the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid.
Today, we look at Trump's nominee for secretary of health and human services, Georgia Congressman Tom Price. Price, an orthopedic surgeon, is an outspoken critic of the Affordable Care Act and was one of the first lawmakers to draft a full replacement for the act.
