Washington
-
After
voting
just
shy
of
2AM
last
night,
U.S.
Senator
Tim
Scott
(R-SC)
released
the
statement
below
regarding
the
confirmation
of
Dr.
Tom
Price
for
Secretary
of
the
U.S.
Department
of
Health
and
Human
Services.
“This
past
year
in
South
Carolina,
we
saw
major
insurance
companies
leave
our
state,
resulting
in
a
lack
of
plans
to
choose
from,
rising
premiums
and
high
deductibles.
Obamacare
has
failed,
and
it
is
time
to
ensure
the
American
people
have
a
health
care
system
they
can
depend
on
for
quality
care.
As
a
doctor,
Tom
has
firsthand
experience
with
our
nation’s
health
care
system,
and
is
a
great
choice
to
help
lead
us
through
the
replacement
of
Obamacare.
He
understands
that
we
need
a
patient-centered
system
that
is
not
based
on
the
whims
of
Washington
bureaucrats.
There
is
no
question
Tom
will
help
bring
strong
leadership
and
important
improvements
to
our
healthcare
policies.”
