"It is true that behind closed doors I curse more," says @POTUS.

When Lamar Alexander informed him he went over time, Franken observed that the Benghazi hearing lasted 11 hours.https://twitter.com/dylanlscott/status/821759932433317891 …

Here’s a summary of Tom Price’s ACA replacement bill — introduced regularly since 2009 but hasn’t gone anywhere. http://tomprice.house.gov/sites/tomprice.house.gov/files/Section%20by%20Section%20of%20HR%202300%20Empowering%20Patients%20First%20Act%202015.pdf …

FRANKEN: It was nice meeting you the other day. Did you enjoy meeting me? PRICE: I did. CROWD: LOL

Rand Paul subtweets Sanders during his Price questioning: "Those who say we have no compassion extol the virtues of socialism."

Price won't say whether health care is a right. He talks about "access" rather than a "right."

Sanders & Price represent the purest contrast on health care. Sanders wants single-payer, Price wants a deregulated market to work its will.

TOM PRICE: "We are a compassionate society." BERNIE SANDERS: "No, we are not a compassionate society" compared to others.

Sanders asks if Price will work w/Congress to negotiate drug prices; Price dodges, says he'll commit to working to ensure $ are reasonable.

Price's response: "I haven't had extensive discussions" but "I have no reason to believe he's changed his position."https://twitter.com/sahilkapur/status/821751121739993090 …

Bernie time. He immediately demands to know from Tom Price if Trump will keep his promise not to cut Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid.

Sen. Johnny Isakson, fellow Georgian, gives a ringing endorsement of Price, jokes he may be the only one in Congress who reads the bills.

.@PattyMurray quickly ripping into Price, saying his plans would tear apart health system, cost millions insurance & end Medicare guarantee.

At Price hearing, HELP Chair Lamar Alexander stresses the need to simultaneously repeal/replace Obamacare, citing Trump & Ryan statements.
