Azar is President Donald Trump's choice to replace Tom Price. Price resigned from the position in September following a scandal over his use of private jets that reportedly cost taxpayers more than $US1 million.

Azar worked as HHS deputy secretary from 2005 to 2007 under President George W. Bush.
Shortly after, he joined the pharmaceutical company Eli Lilly as a senior vice president of corporate affairs and communications and eventually became president of Lilly USA, according to his LinkedIn (https://www.linkedin.com/in/azaralex/). He left Lilly in January 2017 and now consults and counsels with pharmaceutical and health insurance companies.
