Tom Price isn't out of a job because he spent all that money on jets. That's just the symptom

of the disease.
Price is out because as the head guy at HHS he was behind every single plan to repeal Obamacare, the most unpopular piece of legislation in years, and he couldn't bear to fly commercial airlines, like his predecessors, and look the citizens of this nation in the eyes and answer their questions face-to-face about his "healthcare plans" so he hid out on private planes for the last 8 months.
Price is out of a job today because he's a gutless coward.

and for no other reason. Trump doesn't give a crap that Price was jetting all over the place on the taxpayers' dime; Trump does exactly that almost every weekend, except that he uses a 747. What he did care about is that Price's grifting was all over the news and made him and his administration look bad. He didn't like the "optics."
