A top Trump administration official leading Obamacare overhaul efforts sought Sunday to placate members of his own party in the Senate who are opposing legislation unveiled last week. Tom Price, secretary of Health and Human Services, said on "Fox News Sunday" that President Donald Trump and others are talking with the five Senate Republicans who have said they do not support the Senate version of an Obamacare overhaul. They are Sens. Rand Paul of Kentucky, Ted Cruz of Texas, Mike Lee of Utah, Ron Johnson of Wisconsin and Dean Heller of Nevada. (Temple-West, 6/25)
