The U.S. Senate on Feb. 10 approved Rep. Tom Price to oversee HHS.
 
About 2 a.m., the Senate voted 52-47 in favor of Price's nomination.
 
Price, R-Ga., is a six-term congressman, former orthopedic surgeon and long-time opponent of the Affordable Care Act (ACA). He was tapped by President Donald Trump to help steer the replacement for the ACA (HHL 12/19/16).
 
Since his nomination, Price had come under fire for stock trading tied to medical companies that were linked to legislation he would later introduce.
