Trump Cabinet members actions and issues: on Health Care

Steve Mnuchin: Repeal ObamaCare individual mandate for middle class tax cut

"I think right now our objective is to keep [the Senate's repeal of the mandate] in. It provides a big tax cut for the middle class, it gets rid of the penalty, but we are going to work with the Senate as we go through this."

Tom Price: Premise of ObamaCare is that Washington knows best

Price introduced the Empowering Patients First Act to the 113th Congress (2013--14)--which was described on his Congress website as "legislation that fully repeals ObamaCare and starts over with patient-centered solutions." The bill is almost 250 pages long. "We think it's important that Washington not be in charge of health care," he told The Wall Street Journal in an interview last summer. "The problem that I have with `ObamaCare' is that its premise is that Washington knows best."

On the third anniversary of the ACA rollout, Price delivered the weekly Republican address to criticize the law and tout the Better Way agenda. "We repeal things like the individual mandate, and we say that you should be free to pick whichever insurance plan you need, not the one Washington forces you to buy," he said.
