Trump has said the administration`s vision for health care would come down shortly after Price was confirmed. Consistent with all of President Donald Trump`s Cabinet confirmations this week, Price narrowly won confirmation on a 52 - 47 vote. Rep. Tom Price, R-Georgia, was confirmed as secretary of health and human services in a vote that took place in the wee hours of Friday morning, providing momentum for Republicans to repeal the Affordable Care Act. Price ? a physician who was director of the orthopedic clinic at Atlanta`s bustling Grady Memorial Hospital before he entered politics ? is expected to usher through any changes in health care policy.
