"Price tried to spin his way around the moral question of whether health care is a right, but Sanders wouldn’t let him; debates about Cabinet picks often fail to reflect on the moral values of the nominees and the agendas they advance. That’s unfortunate, because those who propose to guide a government should be forced to confront the morality — and the immorality — of their own choices.The process by which senators offer their advice and consent with regard to Cabinet nominations should weigh those choices, and the policies that extend from them. But only a few legislators are genuinely willing to hold nominees to account on fundamental matters of right and wrong.That is why the questioning by Sen Bernie Sanders (I-VT) of Trump’s nominee to serve as secretary of health and human services, Georgia Congressman Tom Price, was so vital."
