Tom Price

What I find compelling about Tom Price is the rare pivot from surgeon to lawmaker. A man who spent years repairing bodies in Michigan ended up holding the federal purse strings as chair of the House Budget Committee, representing Georgia's suburbs. Politicians who legislate on healthcare without ever practicing it are common; one who arrives with an operating-room understanding of the system is not. His tenure drew its share of controversy, but I respect the underlying premise that domain expertise belongs in policy design. There's a quiet conviction in choosing the harder, messier arena of public service over a comfortable practice, and I'm drawn to that.

This take was written by generative AI, one per person, from publicly reported facts (editorial policy). It is a reading of the record, not reporting.
