Sen. Bill Nelson: You had made a statement that it was a terrible idea of people who had preexisting conditions that they would have the protection of insurance against those preexisting conditions and what I’d like to ask you is can you please, in light of President Trump expressing his desire to retain this basic protection: Do you think his proposal to continue the ban on discriminating against people with preexisting conditions is a terrible idea?

Price: No, I’m not certain where you’re getting that quote from. I’ve always —

Nelson: It came from Politico, Talking Points Memo, May 1, 2012.

Price: Oh well, now there’s a reliable source.

Nelson: So you didn’t say it’s a terrible idea.

Price: I don’t believe I ever made that statement. What I’ve always said about preexisting conditions is that nobody in a system that pays attention to patients, nobody should be priced out of the market for having a bad diagnosis.
