While I was skimming the news title, the news about our new secretary
of health and human services decision attracted my attention. According to ThinkProgress, the Senate has approved
the nomination of Representative Tom Price to be the secretary of health and
human services (HHS), and is expecting him to implement the repeal and
replacement of the Affordable Care Act. However, there are doubts about Price’s
investments, insider trading, and possibly conflicts of interest.
Health insurance is important to our daily living. Everyone
has a chance to be sick and may need to seek help from it. Since the beginning
of Obamacare, a lot of debates arise around it, and it doesn’t matter if you
like it or not, you can see its effects showing up on your tax form in recent
years, so I believe the confirmation of new secretary of HHS is important to our
future health program ,service, and coverage. That said, the suspicious conflicts
of interest could also influence our insurance market.
