Tom Price, HHS, resigned Friday amid an investigation into the use of private jets at taxpayer expense. The government spent more than $1 million on travel, including 26 charter flights within the US, and additional travel to Africa, Asia, and Europe. Price was an advocate for making mandatory value based care models voluntary.
