Tom Price: “I commit to you that we will not abandon individuals with preexisting illness or disease.”

We have, in essence, transferred over the past 30 to 40 years the treatment of mental health individuals... to a remarkably substandard care in our criminal justice system.

It is not a Republican system, it is not a Democrat system, it is a system where hopefully we are focusing on the patients.

What I hope is that we do not need a mandate for anybody so that they are able to purchase the kind of coverage that they want, not that the government forces them to buy.

If I am confirmed, the responsibility that we will have is to enforce the law of the land, and we will do so.
