Pallone on Resignation of HHS Secretary Price

September 29, 2017

Washington, D.C. – Energy and Commerce Ranking Member Frank Pallone, Jr. (D-NJ) released the following statement today following news that Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price has resigned:

"After his repeated and flagrant abuse of taxpayer funds, Secretary Price had no other choice than to resign. He was never the right person to lead the agency responsible for protecting the overall health of all Americans. Since day one, the Secretary has done everything he can to sabotage the Affordable Care Act. I hope President Trump learns from this mistake, and looks to appoint someone who can work in a bipartisan way to strengthen health care for all Americans."
