Well, if it’s from CNN, we should wait to see what the actual facts are before we react.
It could be good if it means Congress can go forward with repeal without waiting for near-simultaneous replace.
Congress exempted itself from insider-trading laws.

If true, dump him immediately.
Wow, CNN suddenly cares about corruption? Where are the articles on the Clinton Foundation?
Not cool.
Of course, we need a credible source first, CNN is the one reporting it.
Oh, for goodness sake, Congresscritters do this all the time. It is legal! They made certain of it. Pelosi regularly helps companies she and her husband own. They had a big interest in a tuna company in a US territory. She delayed the minimum wage law there until they had sold it. She and her husband own a military contractor. She sends business their way all the time. When she became speaker I got the job at General Dynamics to go through her company’s catalog and convert as many parts as possible over to them as the supplier. We did no QA work with them because this was political and their products were relatively bad.
Time will tell. I hope for Price's sake it is.
Every member of congress does this. The courts have ruled that it is legal over and over again. It’s one of the primary ways congress gets so freaken rich.
Quite a piker compared to Feinstein and Pelosi - but our Congress's blatant ability to use inside information needs to stop. They send business people to jail for such actions, yet they exempt themselves. Reid, and a host of other Congresscritters, have made themselves rich in their years of office by using insider information - or tailoring laws for their benefit. Drain the swamp.
$1000-15K for a man with a net worth of millions and much larger (@100x)investments in other medical equipment companies. Just one small piece of his portfolio I think.
De minimis I’d say.
He does have much larger potential conflicts of interest that he says he intends to sell out of.
At least the guy will know where the drains are located.
I will reserve judgement.
CNN is a conflict of interest in and of itself.
It trash-talks wholesome leadership for it’s own ratings.
I think it should shutter it’s operation.

A year ago?
Years ago, a story like this would raise concerns. Now, however, the MSM has zero credibility. That’s the price the MSM pays for their corruption and unrelenting bias. I believe nothing CNN reports.
Nancy Pelosi?
Price bought between $1,001 to $15,000 worth of shares last March in Zimmer Biomet, according to House records reviewed by CNN.
...
That seems like an insignificant investment in the grand scheme of things. And I doubt a one year delay in a regulation would affect the stock price much.
I can’t believe people are ready to dump a good man over this crap from CNN.
First I thought about Nazi Pelosi and her family. Then I thought it had to be Difi and her husband.
Then I find out it’s nobody I know.
Is this more fake news from CNN?

“Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States.” —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
”State inspection laws, health laws, and laws for regulating the internal commerce of a State, and those which respect turnpike roads, ferries, &c. are not within the power granted to Congress [emphases added].” —Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
”From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added].” —United States v. Butler, 1936.
Drain the swamp! Drain the swamp!
Remember in November ’18 !
Since Trump entered the ’16 presidential race too late for patriots to make sure that there were state sovereignty-respecting candidates on the primary ballots, patriots need make sure that such candidates are on the ’18 primary ballots so that they can be elected to support Trump in draining the unconstitutionally big federal government swamp.
Such a Congress will also be able to finish draining the swamp with respect to getting the remaining state sovereignty-ignoring, activist justices off of the bench.
Noting that the primaries start in Iowa and New Hampshire in February ‘18, patriots need to challenge candidates for federal office in the following way.
Patriots need to qualify candidates by asking them why the Founding States made the Constitution’s Section 8 of Article I; to limit (cripple) the federal government’s powers.
Patriots also need to find candidates that are knowledgeable of the Supreme Court's clarifications of the federal government’s limited powers listed below.
