Tom Price Trumps HHS Nominee, already has plans to replace Obamacare.

Trump Nominated Georgia Congressman Tom Price for Secretary of Health And Human Services Today in a Tweet. Tom Price has been an outspoken opponent of Obamacare, and already has a plan to replace Obamacare.

Price, once an orthopedic surgeon from the suburbs of Atlanta, introduced his own legislation to repeal and replace Obamacare in the current Congress and the three previous sessions. Price's plan, known as the Empowering Patients First Act, was the basis for a subsequent health care proposal unveiled by House Speaker Paul Ryan.

Price's plan offers fixed tax credits so people can buy their own insurance on the private market. The credit starts at $1,200 a year and rises with age. Price's plan is not adjusted for income. Everyone receives the same credit whether they are rich or poor. People on Medicaid, Medicare, the military health plan known as Tricare, or the Veterans Affairs' health plan could opt instead for the tax credit to buy private insurance.

People with existing medical conditions couldn't be denied coverage under Price's plan as long as they had continuous insurance for 18 months prior to selecting a new policy. If they didn't, then they could be denied coverage for that condition for up to 18 months after buying a new plan.

These are some of the highlights of Tom Prices Obamacare replacement plan.
