Rep. Titus opposes Price's record and his proposed agenda in the Trump administration. February 9, 2017 Today Rep. Dina Titus of Nevada’s First Congressional District issued the following statement on Rep. Tom Price, President Trump’s Health Secretary nominee who will receive a confirmation vote early Friday morning in the U.S. Senate. “Rep. Tom Price voted dozens of times to eliminate the ACA which has cut the overall uninsured rate in Nevada from 23 percent to 12 percent while reducing the child uninsured rate by half. Rep. Price has failed to present Americans a realistic alternative for the ACA despite his crusade to ‘repeal and replace.’ Furthermore, his personal finances reflect numerous conflicts of interest with investments in healthcare companies. He is also vehemently opposed to a woman’s right to choose.” |
