DeLauro Statement Regarding Resignation of Secretary Price

September 29, 2017

WASHINGTON, DC - Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro (CT-03) released the following statement regarding the resignation of HHS Secretary Tom Price.

"President Trump campaigned on draining the swamp, yet it appears that many of his cabinet appointees have brought "the swamp" closer. President Trump should ask for the resignations of the remaining members of his administration whom have similarly abused government resources. Secretary Mnunchin's date at Fort Knox for the Total Solar Eclipse and Secretary Zinke's trips to Montana and the Virgin Islands appear to be no different that Secretary Price's abuses."

"During his short tenure, Secretary Price wasted taxpayer dollars while undermining and sabotaging the Affordable Care Act. His actions have driven up premiums and threatened the healthcare of millions of Americans."
