HHS Secretary coming to Utah to talk healthcare

Jun 26, 2017, 6:00 AM | Updated: 10:30 am

SANDY — Secretary Tom Price is going to be in Sandy Monday morning to meet with and listen to local business leaders about their rising healthcare costs.  He says business owners are some of the most affected by Obamacare.

Price is also defended the GOP health care plan.

“What I’m telling you is the system, the plan that we would put in place, would not allow individuals to fall through the cracks,” Price told CNN’s Dana Bash on Sunday. “We would not pull the rug out from under anybody. We would not have individuals lose coverage.”

Price says the bills in Congress are only one part of the GOP’s health care plan and that the Health and Human Services Department will take action on the administration side to lower premiums.

We want to hear from you.
