Rep. Tom Price has emerged as the clear front-runner to serve as Donald Trump's secretary of Health and Human Services, according to several Republican sources close to the transition team.
Price, a physician and an ardent opponent of Obamacare, would lead the dismantling of the Affordable Care Act and potentially help Congress enact a new health plan. His selection would be a strong embrace of the House's effort to repeal and replace Obamacare.
The Trump transition team did not respond to a request for comment.
