President-elect Donald Trump is set to announce on Tuesday that he has chosen Republican US representative Tom Price, an orthopedic surgeon and vociferous critic of the Affordable Care Act, as health and human services secretary, two sources told Reuters. Trump’s decision was confirmed by a transition team official and a republican official on Monday. Price has long championed a plan of tax credits, expanded health savings accounts, and lawsuit reforms to replace Obamacare. Secretary of state intrigueMiller said Trump was not expected to announce his decision for the coveted secretary of state job on Tuesday. Among the Trump transition team, Petraeus and Romney are supported by republicans looking for a candidate with gravitas who can unify the party, the source said.
