Tom Price: ‘We Want Nobody to Lose Coverage’ and ‘We Want to Increase’ Access to Coverage

‘The previous administration forced people to buy health coverage’

EXCERPT:

PRICE: "I believe that those numbers look at this in a siloed situation where they don’t look at the kind of reforms and changes that will come about or the options and greater choices that individuals will have. Again, we want nobody to lose coverage or lose access to coverage that currently has that and we want to increase the number of individuals that have access to coverage. Remember there are 20 million folks out there across this land who said to the previous administration and government, 'We don’t want what you've got. We're either going to pay a penalty or we're going to request a waiver. 20 million folks don’t have coverage right now because the federal government put in place rules and regulations that are too onerous for them to purchase coverage."
