President elect has nominated Ardent Obamacare critic tom price, a republican congressman from the state of georgia, Congressman Price is very tight with paul ryan, this is according to the House Speaker himself. Here is speaker ryan on local talk radio. What im excited about is tom price who is a very close friend of mine. Tom price is one of the architects of replacing obamacare, of fixing health care. Hes a surgeon, he knows how the law works and hes been the most passionate advocate for patientcentered Health Care Reforms that ive seen in congress and im really excited he is now going to be the quarterback, the point person in the new administration on reforming health care. So that was speaker ryan and as donald trump is adding to his cabinet, hes also making headlines again for one of his tweets. This is what he wrote nobody should be allowed to burn the

the momentum our campaign got in the last two weeks of the campaign i think was largely due to the fact that those obamacare premium and deductible hikes were going out to millions of americans. i think it frightened them as well as it should have. so i m glad president trump president-elect trump is delivering with his pick to repeal and replace obamacare. it was a job killing monster, we are going to have sensible health reform going forward. i m looking at angela out of the corner of my eye shaking her bed. but before we get to that point it s fair to point out the criticisms because one question is how will this affect women s health specifically. planned parenthood is worried about that because we know he has talked about planned parenthood saying the clinics have been involved in what he calls barbaric abortion practices when the supreme court ruled on gay marriage last year
and this actually has been a job-creating measure. the affordable care act as has created health i.t. jobs, a substantial number of health i.t. jobs. so you ve heard talk about repeal and angela that s i m not done, steve. i m not done. a lot of talk about repeal and replace and they got stuck at repeal, brooke, you re talking about folks who did that 60 plus times in congress. i know and i hear you but he has proposed multiple years in a row the empowering patients first act so at least this is something for republicans. they have someone who has specifics and recommendations as an m.d. but i hear you. steve, go ahead then i want to move on. i think regarding don t take my word for it that it was a job killing monster, take bill clinton s word for it who told us that on the campaign trail somewhat unwittingly talked about how punitive it was to small business. he called it crazy. and when you talk about defunding planned parenthood as being scary, what i think is scary
