YouTube Description
as posted by the channelMany Republican lawmakers returned to their districts this week to face angry constituents voicing their frustration with efforts to repeal the Affordable Care Act. Back in 2009, as the law was being written and debate, it was Democrats in Congress who faced the angry voters who didn’t want government to change the health care system. The 2009 town halls, just as they did this week, often turned very angry. “It’s been hard to tell the televised town hall meetings on health care from reruns of Jerry Springer,” Pete Williams of NBC News said on Washington Week.
