Washington, D.C. - Senator Tom Cotton (R-Arkansas) today released the following statement after meeting with the nominee for Secretary of Health and Human Services, Dr. Tom Price:

"If we want our health-care system to focus on the patient's needs, then why not pick a HHS secretary who's spent his career doing just that? As a doctor himself, Dr. Price knows what it takes to provide quality, affordable care on a personal level. And as a congressman, he's spent years studying our health-care system. In our meeting today, we discussed how we will repeal Obamacare and replace it with real patient-centered reforms. Not many people could match his qualifications for the job. I look forward to supporting his nomination."
