(Washington, D.C.) - Today, Senator Patty Murray (D-WA), Ranking Member of the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP) Committee released the following statement in response to a new report from the Office of the Inspector General (OIG) of the Department of Health and Human Services detailing former Secretary of Health and Human Services Tom Price’s repeated misuse of public funds to charter private aircraft trips.
“The findings of this report are clear-former Secretary Price blatantly cheated the public and wasted taxpayer dollars on his personal luxury travel. He should pay back every penny of the $341,000 he owes workers and families."
