Congressman Tom Price is recognized as a vibrant Leader in Georgia and a thoughtful problem solver.

LEADING - EVERY DAY:
While in Congress, Price has worked on bold, principled solutions to our many challenges, including energy, the economy, tax and health care policy.

Congressman Price has actively and aggressively fought for patient-centered health reform.  He was the primary author of H.R. 3400, the Empowering Patients First Act, which would solve the remarkable challenges America faces in the realm of healthcare without putting the government in charge.  He understands that what is needed is a system that maintains the highest quality care in the world while correcting the failings in the area of insurance coverage and non-medical decision making.

Because of his strong leadership, Congressman Price was chosen earlier this year by his colleagues to chair the Republican Study Committee, the largest caucus in the U.S. House of Representatives.

REAL SOLUTIONS:
Sticking with bold solutions, Price has championed the FairTax. Americans spend millions of hours and billions of dollars each year trying to comply with a tax code we all know is broken.  The FairTax would replace our current patchwork of income, payroll and death taxes eliminating the need for the IRS entirely with a single tax on consumption alone.  This would lower taxes and greatly simplify the tax code by putting more money back in your pocket and producing an unprecedented economic boom.  He strongly supports an "All You Can Create" energy program that would champion conservation, responsibly and aggressively utilize American resources for Americans, and incentivize our system to discover the new sources of energy to allow America to remain the leader of the world.

BIPARTISANSHIP:
In the area of health care, Congressman Price has reached across the aisle to find real solutions.  Working with those who are battling for positive reform, he has helped forge and introduce solutions that embrace fundamental American principles to all of the challenges we face.  He knows that bigger government is not the answer.

MEDICAL PRACTICE:
Congressman Price received a Doctor of Medicine degree from the University of Michigan and completed his Orthopaedic Surgery residency at Emory University.  He established an orthopaedic clinic just north of Atlanta, where he practiced for 20 years, helping grow his group into the largest private practice of orthopaedic surgeons in the nation.  He then returned to Emory University School of Medicine as an assistant professor.  Before coming to Congress, Dr. Price was medical director of the Orthopaedic Clinic at Grady Memorial Hospital in Atlanta, teaching resident doctors in training.

COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT:
Price is active in the Atlanta community, is a past president of the Roswell Rotary Club and has served on Boards of the North Fulton Chamber of Commerce, Orchestra Atlanta, the Arthritis Foundation, and the North Metro YMCA. Congressman Price with his wife, Elizabeth, and family reside in Roswell. They are members of the Georgia Ensemble Theater, Roswell Clean and Beautiful, and the Chattahoochee Nature Center.
