EMBARGOED UNTIL SATURDAY, AUGUST 22 AT 6AMCONTACT: Michael Steel, Kevin Smith - (202) 225-4000 Rep. Tom Price (R-GA) Delivers Weekly Republican Address Dr. Price: Americans Need Patient-Centered Reform, Not Democrats’ Costly Government Takeover of Health Care WASHINGTON, DC - Rep. Tom Price (R-GA) today delivered the weekly Republican address on the need for real health care reform that makes coverage more affordable and accessible for middle-class families and small businesses. In the address, Price – who served Atlanta-area patients as a physician for more than two decades – fact-checks a number of myths about the Democrats’ government takeover of...

Democrats are planning to use the autumn budget reconciliation to bring America further down the road to a single-payer system—and not just in health care. Responding to a White House request, pending House legislation would make the federal government the dominant lender in the $100 billion market for student loans. Not that Congress has traditionally kept its hands off this business. As in health care, intervention in the education market has gone hand-in-hand with rising costs. While government accounts for 41% of health-care spending, the feds guarantee or issue roughly 80% of student loans, subsidizing the rates and also offering...

As the debate about ObamaCare rages nationwide (a summary of HR 3200 can be seen here), the idea of government taking over health care services is becoming less and less appealing. Think about it: The federal government runs Amtrak, the Post Office, and state governments run their own DMVs. Amtrak cannot turn a profit; the Post Office is planning on closing numerous offices nationwide and is considering ending six-day service. And waiting in line at the DMV just to renew your driver’s license can be an hours-long ordeal to which no one looks forward to except those with no lives...

Republicans respect him as a relentless and creative attack dog. Democrats deride him as a rigid, bomb-throwing ideologue. Either way, Georgia Rep. Tom Price has emerged as a major player in the House GOP. “I’ve never seen a guy who could carry on so many battles at one time,” said Texas Rep. Jeb Hensarling, who preceded Price as chairman of the Republican Study Committee, a caucus of conservative House Republicans. “On our side of the aisle, people view Tom as one of the most effective advocates of the Republican message.” Price clearly relishes a good political fight. Price’s profile among...

When energy prices spiked last year, Americans across the political spectrum understood a simple concept that many in Washington still don’t get: high energy costs hurt. Sadly, those affected most were least able to absorb the pain. Households on shoestring budgets suddenly had to choose between paying for food, rent, clothing, and commuting to work. On the macro-economic level, higher transportation and production costs for businesses meant higher prices at the store for consumers. Consumers responded by spending less, and the economy stumbled. With unemployment still rising and the government bailouts and “stimulus” attempts predictably failing to improve the economic...

Happiness is...Gridlock by: Daniel Allen, March 16, 2009 Congressman Tom Price (R-GA), who represents the “happiest district in the nation” according to a recent study, expressed his regrets that his district “is not happy about what’s going on here in Washington right now.” Congressman Price serves as the Chairman of the Republican Study Committee, and was a strong opponent of the omnibus bill which Congress has now passed and sent to President Obama for his signature. The Congressman, who addressed an audience at the Heritage Foundation on March 10th, took the opportunity to describe the mood of policymakers and constituents...

Rep. Tom Price (R-Ga.): Democrats made the bill available at 11 p.m. on Thursday night. At 9 a.m. Friday morning, the House begins debate on the bill. If members of Congress actually took the time to read the bill, they would have to read through the night at a rate of 626 words per minute before heading to the House floor. What are the odds of that happening? (w/video)

President Barack Obama has proclaimed his administration will be more open than the previous administration. However, his counterparts in the House and the Senate aren’t following suit. The Washington Post has reported that negotiations between House and Senate Democrats have resulted in a stimulus bill with a price tag of “about $789.5 billion.” This agreement raised the ire of Rep. Tom Price, R-Ga., and he went outside of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s office to express it. “My name’s Tom Price and I represent the Sixth District of Georgia and [am] the privileged chair of the Republican Study Committee,” Price said....
