Senate Confirms Tom Price as Health and Human Services Secretary
----------------------------------------------------------------

Back in Washington, the Senate confirmed Rep. Tom Price as President
Trump's health and human services secretary this morning, following a
debate that stretched well past midnight. The vote was 52 to 47, with
all Republicans in support of Price and all Democrats and independents
opposed. Price will lead Trump's campaign to repeal the Affordable Care
Act. He also opposes abortion and has voted to cut all federal funding
for Planned Parenthood.
