Rep. Dave Brat is Feeling the Heat

As Republicans continue their efforts to repeal the Affordable Care Act without offering a real replacement plan, Members are feeling the heat from their constituents. In Virginia, Rep. Dave Brat (VA-07) complained to a conservative audience about vocal constituents who are concerned about losing coverage and increased health care costs. From the Richmond Times-Dispatch:

“Rep. Dave Brat, R-7th, is feeling some political pressure as Republicans in Congress move to repeal the Affordable Care Act.”

“‘Since Obamacare and these issues have come up, the women are in my grill no matter where I go,’ Brat told an audience Saturday at a meeting of conservative groups at Hanover Tavern.”

“‘They come up — ‘When is your next town hall?’ And believe me, it’s not to give positive input.’”
