Heck, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2016\/12\/26\/us\/tom-price-hhs-donald-trump-cabinet.html\">the American Medical Association endorsed him<\/a>, so what&#8217;s the big deal? I mean, can we really expect our elected governmental officials to not let commercial bias influence their decision making? And just think how much money he can make! This is better than insider trading. Instead of getting tips from insiders, he is the insider!<\/p>\n<p class=\"u-hiddenVisually\" data-aria-label-part=\"3\">Dr. Price didn&#8217;t win his most recent election to represent the people of Georgia in the 6th Congressional District by a large margin. In fact 40% voted for someone named <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cbs46.com\/story\/33632482\/who-is-the-ghost-candidate-for-us-6th-district\">Rodney Stooksbury<\/a> to run against Price and represent them in Congress. However, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.govtrack.us\/congress\/members\/GA\/6\">no one has ever seen<\/a> Rodney, no one knows who he is and what he represents, and in fact they can&#8217;t find a website, picture, facebook page, tweet, or even a picture of him! When reporters went to his house, his neighbors hadn&#8217;t even heard of him. All we know about him is that he is 56 years old and a retired aerospace worker or <a href=\"https:\/\/votesmart.org\/candidate\/biography\/168139\/rodney-stooksbury#.WJAWkvJWKj4\">aeronautical<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"u-hiddenVisually\" data-aria-label-part=\"3\">Does that mean that he came from outer space to save us from Tom Price? Oh, Rodney! Now and in our darkest hour, we pray for you to deliver us from Tom Price and the Trumpians!<\/p>\n<p>If Rep. Price is confirmed as head of Health and Human Services (HHS) not only will he be the boss (yikes!) of those of us who do research with funding from the National Institutes of Health or work for the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) right here in Atlanta, Georgia (that&#8217;s the! the one invaded by the zombies!), he will also be leaving open his spot as representative for the 6th congressional district of the State of Georgia. This is a special election, since the good citizens of GA-06 swung from a large majority for Mitt Romney to a bare squeaker for, yes, Hillary Clinton.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-lang=\"en\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Tom Price&#8217;s suburban Atlanta <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/GA06?src=hash\">#GA06<\/a> swung YUGE against Trump.
