Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price was known to be corrupt before ever being named to the post. And now that he’s in the job, he’s enjoying the perks.
Price spent tens of thousands of dollars to take a private jet to travel up and down the East Coast last week.
A private jet to a resort to chat with a pharma CEO sounds like what you might expect from a man who bought stock in a medical company, then authored a bill to boost its value.
But Price’s misuse of a public funds to hire a private plane is particularly egregious, because that Tom Price, is the same Tom Price who railed against government use of private planes.
The ranking member of the House Energy and Commerce committee said he wants to see a “full accounting” of Price’s travel.
