A roundup of editorials Friday asks where Sec. Tom Price’s apology went, if he can survive President Donald Trump’s wrath and how he lives large when a Georgia woman has to leave the state to get her child health care.

Opinions from the Right:

1. What Tom Price left out in his private jet apology: 'Sorry'  
From Fortune: Is Price sorry for using taxpayer money to pay for private jets? We don't know, he didn't say the words.

2. Tom Price's private flight reimbursement may not save him from Trump's wrath
From The Washington Examiner: Sure, Price agreed to reimburse the government for part of the cost of the plane trips, but that may not get him out of Trump's doghouse.

3. Price lives large as Sarah and Aidan flee Georgia
From The Marietta Daily Journal: While the head of Health and Human Services lives large, a Georgia woman and her 3-year-old son are moving across the country to get the medical help they need.
