Thomas E. Price was the 23rd secretary of health and human services. Price served in the Trump administration from February 10, 2017, to September 29, 2017. According to Politico, Price "resigned amid mounting outcry over his use of private jets and military aircraft for government business." A Politico report found that Price "had taken at least 26 charter flights since May to conduct official business in the United States, costing taxpayers more than $400,000. The White House had also approved his use of military aircraft for trips to Africa, Europe and Asia, which cost more than $500,000."[1]

President Donald Trump (R) announced that he had named Price as his choice for secretary of health and human services on November 28, 2016. He was confirmed by the United States Senate on February 10, 2017.[2][3]

Price served as a Republican member of the U.S. House of Representatives for Georgia's 6th Congressional District from 2005 until 2017.

Career

Below is an abbreviated outline of Price's political career:[4]

Secretary of health and human services

See also: The Trump administration on healthcare

Price was chosen by Trump to head the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. On February 10, 2017, he was confirmed by the Senate in a 52-47 vote that fell along party lines.[5]

Issues

Price on healthcare

  • On March 10, 2017, Price released the following statement on Medicaid: “Our states know best how to care for their citizens – particularly their most vulnerable populations who receive healthcare coverage under Medicaid. Pursuant to the vision put forward by President Trump, the Department of Health and Human Services will be committed to doing everything within our authority to provide our nation’s governors and state legislatures with greater flexibility on how they utilize Medicaid resources in caring for those in need. This will include a review of existing waiver procedures to provide states the impetus and freedom to innovate and test new ideas to improve access to care and health outcomes. These efforts will complement the work Congress is already doing through the American Health Care Act and will do in subsequent legislation to deliver patient-centered healthcare reform.”[6]
  • During his confirmation hearing, Price was asked about ensuring access to free contraception. He said, “I think contraception is absolutely imperative for many, many women and the system that we ought to have in place is one that allows women to be able to purchase the kind of contraception they desire.”[7]
  • During his confirmation hearing, Price outlined his philosophy on federal healthcare policy in his opening statement. He said, “If confirmed, my obligation will be to carry to the Department of Health and Human Services both an appreciation for bipartisan, team-driven policymaking and what has been a lifetime commitment to work to improve the health and well-being of the American people. That commitment extends to what I call the six principles of health care – six principles that, if you think about it, all of us hold dear: affordability, accessibility, quality, choices, innovation, and responsiveness. We all want a health care system that’s affordable, that’s accessible to all, of the highest quality, with the greatest number of choices, driven by world-leading innovations, and responsive to the needs of the individual patient.”[8]
  • During his confirmation hearing, Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) asked if Price would commit to not using his administrative authority as HHS secretary to cut funding for Medicare or Medicaid. Price responded, “What the question presumes is money is the metric. In my belief, from a scientific standpoint, if patients aren’t receiving care, even though we’re providing the resources, then it doesn’t work for patients. I believe that the metric ought to be the care that the patients are receiving.”[8]
  • During his confirmation hearing, Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.) asked Price about the future of telemedicine. Price responded, “[T]elemedicine is one of the those exciting innovations … and is absolutely vital. I think we need to accentuate the ability to use telemedicine. Oftentimes, telemedicine is not paid for, it's not compensated. People eat, the clinicians eat those costs. They assume those costs that help the patient, yes, but make it so it's much more difficult for them to be able to provide the quality care necessary.”[8]
  • In June 2016, at an American Enterprise Institute event, Price said, “They believe the government ought to be in control of health care. We believe that patients and doctors should be in control of health care.”[9]

Price on the ACA

  • During an interview on March 12, 2017, NBC's Chuck Todd asked Price if the AHCA "which leaves much of the Obamacare architecture in place, is an acknowledgement that the health care system can’t be run by the free market alone." Price replied, "No, not at all. And obviously this is a transition that we're going through, but the important thing is to appreciate that the market as it is right now is failing. Obamacare, the ACA, has failed. You’ve got premiums going up, you've got deductibles where people have an insurance card but they don't have any coverage, got a third of the counties in this nation that only have one insurer offering coverage, five states with only one insurer offering coverage. That's not a choice nor is it responsible to the individuals who are going to be selecting the coverage. So what we need to do is to fix this, to move in a direction that puts patients and families and doctors in charge of their health care, and not Washington, D.C."[10]
  • During his confirmation hearing, Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.) asked Price how the plan to simultaneous repeal and replace the ACA might work. Price said, “Nobody's interested in pulling the rug out from under anybody. We believe that it is absolutely imperative that individuals who have health coverage should be able to keep health coverage and move, hopefully, to greater choices and opportunities … I think there's been a lot of talk about individuals losing health coverage That is not our goal or our desire, nor is it our plan.”[8]
  • In 2015, Price said, “It [the ACA] needs to be fully repealed, because the first step out of the gate for Obamacare is a step in the wrong direction and that is for government control over every aspect of health care, so it's hard to fix the system that they have put in place without ending that premise that government ought to be running and controlling health care.”[11]
  • In 2009, Price first introduced HR 2300—the Empowering Patients First Act—as the legislative replacement for the ACA. The bill proposed tax credits based on age, which individuals and families could use to purchase insurance policies, as well as a one-time tax credit for health savings accounts. The issue of tax credits has been a flashpoint among conservatives in debates over healthcare, with some favoring tax deductions over credits. Price said that he supports the idea of tax credits “because we felt it was cleaner.” Other features of Price’s bill included allowing insurers to sell policies across state lines and groups of businesses to purchase “association health plans.” Grants would be provided to states to help cover healthcare costs for individuals with pre-existing conditions. Under the Empowering Patients First Act, individuals on government programs like Medicare and Medicaid would be able to opt out and use their tax credit to purchase private coverage. Much of the bill was featured in House Speaker Paul Ryan’s “A Better Way” agenda.[12]

Confirmation vote

On February 10, 2017, the Senate voted 52-47 to confirm Price as secretary of health and human services. Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.) did not vote.[5]

Committee hearings

Senate HELP Committee

Price appeared before the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions on January 18, 2017. Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.) was the chair of the committee, and Sen. Patty Murray (D-Wash.) was the highest-ranking Democrat. The committee had 12 Republicans and 11 Democrats. Price touched on a number of different topics, including Obamacare, Medicare and Medicaid, and telemedicine.

  • On his approach to healthcare policy: Price outlined his philosophy on federal healthcare policy in his opening statement. He said, "If confirmed, my obligation will be to carry to the Department of Health and Human Services both an appreciation for bipartisan, team-driven policymaking and what has been a lifetime commitment to work to improve the health and well-being of the American people. That commitment extends to what I call the six principles of health care – six principles that, if you think about it, all of us hold dear: affordability, accessibility, quality, choices, innovation, and responsiveness. We all want a health care system that's affordable, that's accessible to all, of the highest quality, with the greatest number of choices, driven by world-leading innovations, and responsive to the needs of the individual patient."[13]
  • On repealing and replacing Obamacare: To repeal Obamacare first and replace it later or to repeal and replace it simultaneously was a fundamental question for Republican lawmakers after Trump's election in November 2016. Trump advocated for a simultaneous repeal and replacement plan. Asked by Sen. Alexander how the process of a simultaneous repeal and replacement approach might work, Price said, "Nobody's interested in pulling the rug out from under anybody. We believe that it is absolutely imperative that individuals who have health coverage should be able to keep health coverage and move, hopefully, to greater choices and opportunities ... I think there's been a lot of talk about individuals losing health coverage. That is not our goal or our desire, nor is it our plan."[14]
  • On Medicare and Medicaid: Asked by Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) if he would commit to not using his administrative authority as HHS secretary to cut funding for Medicare or Medicaid, Price responded, "What the question presumes is money is the metric. In my belief, from a scientific standpoint, if patients aren't receiving care, even though we're providing the resources, then it doesn't work for patients. I believe that the metric ought to be the care that the patients are receiving."
  • On telemedicine: Telemedicine was healthcare provided remotely through the use of the various telecommunication technologies. Asked by Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.) about what he saw as the future of telemedicine, Price responded, "Telemedicine is one of the those exciting innovations ... and is absolutely vital. I think we need to accentuate the ability to use telemedicine. Oftentimes, telemedicine is not paid for, it's not compensated. People eat, the clinicians eat those costs. They assume those costs that help the patient, yes, but make it so it's much more difficult for them to be able to provide the quality care necessary."

Senate Finance Committee

On January 24, 2017, Price had a second hearing in front of the Senate Committee on Finance. On January 31, 2017, Democratic members of the Senate Finance Committee boycotted the meeting to vote on Price's nomination. On February 1, 2017, Democrats again boycotted the committee's meeting. In a letter to committee chair Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah), the committee's Democrats said, "We have significant concerns that both Mr. Mnuchin and Congressman Price gave inaccurate and misleading testimony and responses to questions to the Committee." Republicans then suspended the committee's rule that required a member of the minority party be present for a vote and voted 14-0 to send Price's nomination to the Senate for a full vote.[15][16]

During his hearing with the Finance Committee, Price answered questions on block grants to Medicaid and on Obamacare.

  • On block grants to Medicaid: Sen. Bob Menendez (D-N.J.) asked Price if block granting Medicaid to states—which would give each state a set amount to administer the program as it sees fit—meant that Medicaid would then no longer be a right but a possibility subject to funds granted to states. He questioned, "When you move to a block grant do you still have the right [to Medicaid if you qualify]?" Price responded, "No. I think it would be determined by how that is set up."[17]
  • On Trump's executive order on Obamacare: Trump issued an executive order that gave broad authority to the head of the Department of Health and Human Services, as well as the heads of other executive offices and governmental departments, "to waive, defer, grant exemptions from, or delay the implementation of any provision or requirement of the Act that would impose a fiscal burden on any State or a cost, fee, tax, penalty, or regulatory burden on individuals, families, healthcare providers, health insurers, patients, recipients of healthcare services, purchasers of health insurance, or makers of medical devices, products, or medications." When asked by Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) if he would commit to "not implementing the order until the replacement plan is in place," Price responded, "What I commit to you and what I commit to the American people is to keep patients at the center of healthcare. And what that means to me is making certain that every single American has access to affordable health coverage that will provide the highest quality healthcare the world can provide."[18]

Full history


Campaign themes

2016

The following issues were listed on Price's campaign website.

“
  • Empowering Patients First Act: The status quo in health care was, and is, unacceptable. We know that far too many Americans suffer because they are unable to access the quality care and coverage they deserve and need. With each passing day it becomes more evident that handing control of our health care system to Washington is not the solution.
  • Stop the IRS: In a truly chilling turn of events, we have learned that the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) abused its authority by targeting American citizens and organizations who were only seeking to exercise their constitutionally protected Freedom of Speech. That the IRS took punitive measures to intimidate and hinder the First Amendment rights of American citizens is deeply troubling and an affront to our democracy.
  • Budget: As it stands today, our nation is $18 trillion dollars in debt.That number continues to climb by hundreds of billions of dollars each year.Despite policy failures and a dismal economic track record, the Democrat majority in Washington, led by President Obama, continues to advocate for trillions more in debt and higher taxes that will take hard earned money away from American families in order to bail out Washington.
  • Tax Reform: America’s tax code is in dire need of reform. If our nation is to maintain or improve its competitive advantage in today’s expanding global economy, we must modernize and simplify our tax code. We currently have the highest corporate tax rate in the industrialized world. Littered with loopholes and punitive provisions that harm families and small business job creators, our tax code hinders economic growth and costs America’s middle class time and money.
  • Second Amendment: As a strong supporter of the 2nd Amendment, I believe it is imperative that we protect the Constitutional rights of the American people in the face of misguided attempts to deny or curtail individual liberties. Rather than consider imposing new rules and regulations that might infringe upon the rights of law-abiding citizens, the President and the Department of Justice ought to enforce the laws that are already on the books.

Personal Gain Index

Congressional Personal Gain Index graphic.png
See also: Personal Gain Index (U.S. Congress)

The Personal Gain Index (U.S. Congress) is a two-part measurement that illustrates the extent to which members of the U.S. Congress have prospered during their tenure as public servants.
It consists of two different metrics:

PGI: Change in net worth

See also: Changes in Net Worth of U.S. Senators and Representatives (Personal Gain Index) and Net worth of United States Senators and Representatives
Net Worth Metric graphic.png

Based on congressional financial disclosure forms and calculations made available by OpenSecrets.org, Price's net worth as of 2012 was estimated between $5,616,252 and $10,916,235. That averages to $8,266,243.50, which is higher than the average net worth of Republican representatives in 2012 of $6,956,438.47. Price ranked as the 48th most wealthy representative in 2012.[97] Between 2004 and 2012, Price's calculated net worth[98] decreased by an average of 5 percent per year. Between 2004 and 2012, the average annual percentage increase for a member of Congress was 15.4 percent.[99]

Tom Price Yearly Net Worth
YearAverage Net Worth
2004$13,876,169
2012$8,266,243
Growth from 2004 to 2012:−40%
Average annual growth:−5%[100]
Comparatively, the American citizen experienced a median yearly decline in net worth of -0.94%.[101]

The data used to calculate changes in net worth may include changes resulting from assets gained through marriage, inheritance, changes in family estates and/or trusts, changes in family business ownership, and many other variables unrelated to a member's behavior in Congress.

PGI: Donation Concentration Metric

See also: The Donation Concentration Metric (U.S. Congress Personal Gain Index)

Filings required by the Federal Election Commission report on the industries that give to each candidate. Using campaign filings and information calculated by OpenSecrets.org, Ballotpedia calculated the percentage of donations by industry received by each incumbent over the course of his or her career (or 1989 and later, if elected prior to 1988). In the 113th Congress, Price is the Vice-Chair of the United States House of Representatives Committee on Budget. Price received the most donations from individuals and PACs employed by the Health Professionals industry.

From 2003-2014, 40.23 percent of Price's career contributions came from the top five industries as listed below.[102]
