Watch Live Stream: Tom Price's Second Hearing Before Senate Finance Committee

Rep. Tom Price testifies before the Senate Finance Committee for his second round of hearings Tuesday at 10 a.m. Eastern in his effort to be confirmed as President Donald Trump's pick for to head the Department of Health and Human Services.

In his first hearing, Price faced tough questions over findings that he purchased stock in a medical device manufacturer before proposing legislation that would benefit the industry. He told Sen. Elizabeth Warren that he was "offended" at the suggestion that he would do so knowingly, but provided no evidence that the purchase was unintentional.

If approved by the Senate, Price will also find himself in the center of a brewing controversy over the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare.

Republicans have pledged to repeal President Obama's signature health care law and replace it with an improved alternative. But it's not quite clear what that alternative will turn out to be, and whether the public will indeed prefer it to the status quo.

As head of the Department of Health and Human Services, the department responsible for implementing the ACA, Price will be at the center of many of the ensuing fights over the nation's health care.
