Congressman Earl L. "Buddy" Carter (GA-01) released the following statement applauding President-elect Donald Trump's nomination of Congressman Tom Price (GA-06) as Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services:
"Tom Price is absolutely the best man for the job and I applaud President-elect Trump's decision. As a fellow health care professional, Tom has experienced firsthand the destruction of our health care system and knows how important it is to end the Obamacare train wreck once and for all. He has already created conservative solutions to accomplish this and repair our broken health care system to empower patients with more choices, lower costs and better services. I am confident Tom will work with Congress to ensure this becomes a reality.
"It has been an honor to work with Tom. I congratulate my friend and I am excited to continue our work together in his new role to deliver the health care system Americans deserve."
