Health Nominee Drops Hints About Obamacare Replacement Plans

U.S. Representative Tom Price, President Donald Trump’s pick to lead the Department of Health & Human Services, on Tuesday gave the clearest clues yet about how the administration might repeal and replace Obamacare.

Clearest, however, doesn’t mean entirely clear. In a confirmation hearing before the Senate Finance Committee, Price laid out broad goals such as affordability and a focus on patients. He wouldn’t say whether a new measure would cover as many people as the Affordable Care Act or what kind of coverage would be available for individuals to buy.
