Act of Resistance: Oppose Tom Price for HHS

Trump’s pick for Health and Human Services Secretary is Tom Price, an orthopedic surgeon and representative from Georgia. Although at first glance, Mr. Price appears to be a good pick, with experience in both the medical and political fields, his past record is of concern to many. Here are my reasons for opposing Tom Price:

• Wants to dismantle the Affordable Care Act, but provides no replacement plan
• Has voted against lower drug prices for Medicare beneficiaries
• Opposes abortion rights
