Health and Human Services Secretary : Tom Price
The secretary will help Mr. Trump achieve one of his central campaign promises: to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act. Tom Price is six-term Republican congressman from Georgia and orthopedic surgeon who has led opposition to the Affordable Care Act. Mr. Price has said the law interferes with the ability of patients and doctors to make medical decisions.
Trump’s selection is Wilbur Ross, an investor whose fortune is estimated by Forbes to be $2.9 billion. Mr. Ross has said the United States must free itself from the “bondage” of “bad trade agreements,” and has advocated threats to impose steep tariffs on China. (source: nytimes)
