GOP Faces “Rising Anger” Over Effort to Make America Sick Again

Another day, another article about Americans speaking out against Republican efforts to repeal the ACA without immediately replacing it. Today’s story is brought to you by The Hill. The message from constituents has been loud and clear: they do not support the GOP plan to Make America Sick Again. At what point will Republicans listen?

“Republican lawmakers hoping for a break from the politically charged atmosphere in Washington, D.C., have instead been met with protests at home.”

“At a speech in Spokane, Wash., last month, Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers, the chairwoman of the House GOP conference, was drowned out by chants of ‘save our healthcare.’”

“Rep. Kevin Brady (R) was greeted last month by shouts of ‘don’t lie’ at a constituent gathering in Houston. And so many people showed up for one of Rep. Mike Coffman’s (R-Colo.) regularly scheduled open office events that he was criticized for having to turn many away.”

“At a town hall event last weekend, Rep. Dave Brat (R-Va.) complained that ‘since ObamaCare and these issues have come up, the women are in my grill no matter where I go.’”

“Last week, Rep. Barbara Comstock (R-Va.) did not attend two previously scheduled public events.”
