WASHINGTON – Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) issued the following statement after voting to confirm Representative Tom Price (R-Ga.) as secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services:

“The process of dismantling Obamacare, undoing the damage it has inflicted and transitioning to something that actually works starts today.
