EZRA KLEIN, Vox:

No, I think he probably did have to be fired. But I have different views on what's a decent health and services secretary than Donald Trump.

I think there are two things here that are interesting. One is, Donald Trump has not been running an administration of very high ethical standards.

When Tom Price was nominated, there was quite a lot of ethical smoke around him. There were allegations of insider trading. These were things the Senate decided not to dig into. There were things that he misstated. They didn't hold a secondary hearing to look into them.

Donald Trump himself has had a lot of conflict of interests and quasi-dealing things that he's been trying to get around and certainly not address in any serious way. Nobody knows the tax returns.

But the other thing that I actually think is a bigger scandal here — it's not at all why Tom Price was forced to step down — but he's been fundamentally sabotaging Obamacare, which is the law of the land. They're just making it worse in an effort to weaken it.

It's going to make a lot of people's lives a lot worse, and feels to me like it should be a bigger scandal than whatever planes he did or didn't take.
