President-elect Donald Trump is tapping Congressman Tom Price (R-GA) to be Secretary of Health and Human Services and Seema Verma as Administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, according to a release from the transition team.
“Together, Chairman Price and Seema Verma are the dream team that will transform our healthcare system for the benefit of all Americans,” Trump said in a statement.
Price, the chairman of the House Budget Committee, is a physician and a fierce opponent of Obamacare.
“It is an honor to be nominated to serve our nation as Secretary of Health and Human Services. Thanks to President-elect Trump and Vice President-elect Pence for their confidence,” said Rep. Price. “I am humbled by the incredible challenges that lay ahead and enthusiastic for the opportunity to be a part of solving them on behalf of the American people.”
Trump called Price the “ideal choice” for the position, as he already has experience drafting a repeal and replace option for Obamacare.
“He is exceptionally qualified to shepherd our commitment to repeal and replace Obamacare and bring affordable and accessible healthcare to every American,” Trump said in a statement.
After accepting Trump’s nomination, Price vowed to fix the healthcare system that has been crippled by Obamacare.
Trump’s pick to serve as the Administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services is from the private sector.
Verma is the President, CEO and founder of SVC, Inc., a national health policy consulting company, giving her a wealth of experience of working with the government health care options.
According to the release, she helped design consumer-first solutions for Indiana’s health care system under Governor Mitch Daniels of Indiana and Governor Mike Pence.

waiting for the list of agencies that will be abolished and positions which will not be filled.
I always heard "Dot or woo woo?".
I always heard "Dot or woo woo?".
For me it was “splotch or feathers?”
I agree Nimrata Haley was a horrible pick. Her blaming the flag for homicides was lunacy. Then she smirked how she stuck it to those who voted for her, leaving an impression of evil. The only advantages I can see is that she MIGHT be doing less harm at the UN than as governor.
I’m looking at it from the side of the group in question. I know that Indo-Americans were proud as a community to have 2 Indo-American governors elected and both were in office at the same time. They found it amazing.
No, she’s Ohio Amish, the fightin’ kind!
Yes, most certainly, dot Indian.
She seems to be associated with Pence- SVC is an Indiana operation.
...
When we say stupid stuff like this it just feeds the left.
Dot?
Do we know if she practices Hindu?
If not, then perhaps silence is best and let’s see what she does.
Recall there are a growing number of Indian descent Christians.
We have a few in our church.
I like Lisa Lampenelli’s (the female “Don Rickles” of stand-up comedy) version:
“Casino Indian or Slurpee Indian??”
She's murder.
I like that.
I am considering your post, interesting take. You can see where I coming from, a visceral disdain for McConnell after using 527’s against Tea Party groups, that was beyond the pale. Now he going to place nice? It is Trust but Verify time for me...
“Not to mention, the woman has excellent experience and credentials, and clearly has amazing political instincts and capabilities since she’s pretty much the power that’s pushed the Mitch throne into the forefront since she married him in 1993”
So now I know who to blame for all the damage the turtle has done.
I have Blackfoot Indian in my heritage. Great, great grand-mother was full blooded Black foot from Dakota states. Very proud nation of people.
I lived in Lawton, OKlahoma for a while, ex husband was military’ and visited where Geronimo was buried, supposedly. I heard the Apache’s took his bones and reburied him on Elk Mountain.
I want Col Allen West. Why hasn’t he even been mentioned for anything?
and muslim too! (runs away...)
Totally DVR'ing her Senate confirmation.
CMS is literally a basket of basket cases. You need a strong background in accounting and auditing to even begin unraveling that cluster of string lights hidden in the attic under ten boxes.
