The Affordable Care Act replacement plan that President Trump said he is working on with his nominee to be Health and Human Services secretary appeared far less imminent Tuesday.

Trump's pick, Rep. Tom Price, R-Ga., sounded unfamiliar with the legislation that Trump said would be released after Price is confirmed by the Senate when he was asked about it by Sen. Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio, during his confirmation hearing before the Senate Finance Committee.

"It's true that he said that," Price said to laughter. "I've had conversations with the president about health care."
