On Thursday, after learning that Price also frequently took military jets for travel abroad, Politicoadjusted the cost to taxpayers to over $1 million.

"This is just another example of fiscal irresponsibility run amok in congress," said then-Congressman Price on CNBC.
President Trump is reportedly unhappy with Price, and there is speculation that the secretary may not last long in his post due to his travel spending.
His termination as HHS secretary may indeed be justified - especially if Trump decides to take Price's own advice:
