Donald Trump’s choice of Republican Rep. Tom Price of Georgia to be the next secretary of health and human services has drawn what could charitably be called a mixed reaction.

The response from groups dedicated to the health and welfare of LGBTQ people has been one of alarm. Given his terrible record as a member of Congress, should he be confirmed, our community will need to be vigilant in protecting access to medical care for the full range of our health needs.
