President-elect Trump wants Tom Price as his Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS). Tom Price, a Congressman with a long history of anti-LGBT intolerance, has made it his mission for years to dismantle Medicare, Medicaid, and the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare).

Price wants to “replace” Obamacare with a “plan” that would throw more than 20 million Americans off their insurance and allow discrimination based on pre-existing conditions. Tom Price has mocked transgender people, said protecting trans students is “absurd,” and suggested that LGBT people’s “lifestyles” drive up health care costs. And according to the Wall Street Journal he has a history of trading in health care stocks while working on legislation that affects them.



Our HHS Secretary should be someone who will work for ensure all people can access health care—not an extremist who wants to take it away.
