President-elect Donald Trump has selected Rep. Tom Price of Georgia as his nominee for Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services. His confirmation hearing will give the American people a chance to learn more about his past, but my colleagues and I have a few questions for him in the meantime. You see, according to reports, Price may have received special access to buy stock at a discounted price in a small Australian biomedical company. Shortly after he bought shares, that stock's price increased more than 400%. In addition, Rep. Price actively traded in health-related stocks while at the same time drafting and moving legislation forward that could affect those stocks' performance. I believe—along with Senator Tammy Baldwin and U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren—that Americans deserve more information regarding Rep. Price's past trades before his hearing, given that he is being considered for our nation's top health care post.
