You should oppose Tom Price as head of the department and human services because he's an abominable, corrupt politician. Tom Price is the antithesis of the reasons I hear Trump supporters say they support Trump. But, Trump doesn't care about corruption. He chose Tom Price to lead the DHHS not despite his corruption, Trump chose him BECAUSE of his corruption.
Tom Price is guilty of pushing through legislation benefiting a company he invested in, days before.

“Rep. Tom Price last year purchased shares in a medical device manufacturer days before introducing legislation that would have directly benefited the company.... Price bought between $1,001 to $15,000 worth of shares last March in Zimmer Biomet, according to House records reviewed by CNN. Less than a week after the transaction, the Georgia Republican congressman introduced the HIP Act, legislation that would have delayed until 2018 a Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) regulation that industry analysts warned would significantly hurt Zimmer Biomet financially once fully implemented.
Tom Price is also in favor of converting Medicare to a voucher system and turning Medicaid into a block grant program. Which would be devastating to low income families. This pick is classic republican preference for higher income earners and tough **** if you aren't so lucky.
