At raucous town halls, Republicans have faced another round of anger over health care
Source: MSN/Washington Post
BRUNSWICK, Ga. The long August congressional recess, which Republicans hoped would begin a conversation about tax reform and must-pass budget measures, has so far seen another round of angry town halls focused on President Trump and the stalled effort to repeal the Affordable Care Act.
Over just one day, in three small towns along Georgias Atlantic coastline, Rep. Earl L. Buddy Carter (R-Ga.) spent more than four hours answering 74 questions, many of them heated. Just three focused on tax reform; nearly half of all questions focused on health care.
We did our job in the House, Carter said at the top of a town hall at Brunswicks College of Coastal Georgia. It got over to the Senate, and it hit a stumbling block there. Now its in their court, and they need to get something done. Folks, were not giving up.
Carters town halls he is hosting nine total, more than any member of the House mirrored what was happening in swing and safe Republican districts across the country. The failure of the repeal bill kick-started a tax reform campaign, backed by Republican leaders and pro-business groups, who have booked millions of dollars in TV ads to promote whatever might lead to an uncomplicated tax code.

(9,426 posts)WHY do politicians get a "special" healthcare plan, while the rest of us are screwed over? If the plan they are pushing is so good, why don't they enroll Maybe we would ALL like the type of coverage that McCain, Scalise, Cheney all have? On any other plan, they would all have had to file bankruptcy by now.

Is the media telling us that these need to get violent before they will cover them like they covered the T-baggers?
