Tom Price Resigns As Health And Human Services Secretary

Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price has resigned his post just a week into a growing scandal over his frequent use of chartered and military flights that cost American taxpayers more than $1 million.

The White House announced the news in a statement Friday afternoon:

Secretary of Health and Human Services Thomas Price offered his resignation earlier today and the President accepted. The President intends to designate Don J. Wright of Virginia to serve as Acting Secretary, effective at 11:59 p.m. on September 29, 2017. Mr. Wright currently serves as the Deputy Assistant Secretary for Health and Director of the Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion.
Politico first reported that Price had frequently chartered private jets to travel around the country, breaking a long-standing precedent from his predecessors who often flew commercial. The outlet identified dozens of private flights, costing more than $400,000, since May. Just days later, Politico also reported that Price had flown to Africa, Europe and Asia this spring on military aircraft at a cost of more than $500,000.

Price?s wife, Betty, traveled with him on the military plane while other people in his delegation flew commercial, according to the latest report. A HHS spokeswoman said Price had reimbursed the agency for his wife?s travel.

He was likely going to be fired anyway. After being an asshole then responding to being an asshole in an assholish fashion, he had no way.

I know every POTUS has turnover in their staff, but Trump seems to be trying to set some kind of record.

Nothing worse than the phony fiscal conservatives. He couldn't wait to spend and waste money at every turn once named the Sect.

Glad he is gone.

stop all this winning !!!!

I can't handle so much of it .

How can anyone be that stupid? Oh wait, he thought he was still in a corporate jet with an expense account.

I am sure Trump will appoint another ass-kissing DHS Secretary -- leopards don't change their spots.

What may have annoyed me the most about him is that once he was caught he offered to pay back the cost of these things, but he was only paying back the cost of his seat, not all the people that went with him, staff, etc. As if all those people were heading there anyway and he just tagged along.

Trump will just put another shitbag in his place.

Basically he admitted guilt and offered a small sum to pay back over a million in wasted tax dollars.

This shit makes me mad. He called out others for doing it, and then went ahead and did it himself. I understand that these people have to travel, but somewhere along the line there has to be limitations. In nearly all cases they should be traveling on a public plane - I'll even accept first class.

No plane flight that gets you there in time? Then you just don't go. It's that simple.

Want to take your wife with you? No problem, she can pay her own way.
