Price refuses to promise no one will lose coverage under Trumps Obamacare orderTrumps pick to run Health and Human Services dodged a series of pressing questions from Democrats at his confirmation hearing.

Rep. Tom Price refused to say how aggressively he'll implement President Donald Trump's order instructing federal agencies to pare back Obamacare -- and he refused to promise that Obamacare enrollees wouldn't lose coverage as a result of the order.
Price, Trump's pick to run Health and Human Services, dodged questions from lawmakers Tuesday about whether Trump's order would force people from their current Obamacare coverage, despite promises from many Republicans they want to ensure the 20 million people insured through the law wouldn't be hurt by efforts to replace it.
He also wouldn't say whether HHS would wait until Congress readies a replacement plan before taking steps to dismantle the health care law.
