Secretary of Health and Human Services Tom Price on Wednesday defended the Trump administration's proposed cuts to medical research, saying that the National Institutes of Health budget is plagued by unnecessary expenses.

“Our goal is to fashion a budget that focuses on the things that work, that tries to decrease the areas where there are either duplications or redundancies or waste, and whether indeed we can get a larger return for the American taxpayer,” Price told a House committee.
