Insider trading is a good additional reason! http://www.cnn.com/2017/01/16/politics/tom-price-bill-aiding-company/index.html

Here's the amendment I used, though I'm not sure it's the most concise
Hi, my name is ________, and I'm a constituent of the Senator. I want to let the Senator know that I object to Tom Price as the next Secretary of Health and Human Services. Mr Price has a track record of introducing and supporting legislation that would remove health coverage from millions of Americans, increase costs for those with pre-existing or chronic conditions to exorbitant levels, and cut off millions of women from preventative health services. Furthermore, Price has a history of trading stock in healthcare firms while pursuing legislation that could impact their share price-- this is insider trading and not up to the ethical standard we should hold congressmen, let alone cabinet members. Mr Price's disregard for the health needs of more than half of all Americans and unethical practices makes him unsuited to leading a department whose policies affect all Americans and he should therefore not be our next Secretary of Health and Human Services.
