Sen. Cruz Praises Secretary of Health and Human Services Nominee Alex Azar

WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) today released the following statement in support of President Donald Trump’s selection of Alex Azar as his nominee for U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services: 

“I was delighted to learn of President Trump’s nomination of Alex Azar as the next Secretary of Health and Human Services. Alex has been a friend for over two decades; he is a brilliant conservative and a devoted public servant. Most importantly, Alex understands the devastating costs that Obamacare is inflicting upon American families and the urgent need to repeal and replace this disastrous law. I hope the Senate swiftly confirms him, and I look forward to working with Alex to lower health care premiums and once again give Americans the freedom to control their own health care.”
