"Where are medical decisions going to be made?" he asked reporters on a conference call.
There is little evidence veto power over medical decision-making has been an element of the current plans being discussed on Capitol Hill, but Price said that element would be a consequence, intended or not, of a new public option. "Any plan that results in a government takeover of any portion of it will push the crowd out, those in the plan who have personal private health insurance, into that government-run program," he said.

"Minutes before President Obama's address to the American Medical Association on Monday, Rep. Tom Price unveiled the GOP response"
Isn't this proof that it doesn't matter what Obama says, the GOP response always negative? Now they're not even waiting to hear what he's going to say.
Take the medical decisions out of the hands of doctors and patients.........whose making the decisions now? The insurance co"s tell you if you can see a specialist, have a test made and what drugs they will pay for! As usual the Gop refuses to see reality!
Unless the Republicans actually have anything to contribute to this debate, they should shut up. Critizing someone who's trying to find a solution to a problem when you don't have a soultion of your own is not only irresponsible it is also a waste of time.
