There was a full crowd on hand for Congressman Tim Huelskamp’s first town hall meeting of 2016 held Tuesday at the Manhattan Public Library.

For just over an hour and a half the Congressman took questions regarding a number of topics, the most frequent one concerning the Affordable Care Act, otherwise known as Obamacare. Huelskamp explained that there are efforts to repeal Obamacare and the last bill that would have completely repealed it was vetoed by President Obama. Efforts will continue on repealing it, but he’s concerned because there isn’t a plan in place for once it is repealed.

“For five years I pressed John Boehner (former speaker of the house), and other leaders, let’s have a debate. Let’s have an alternative,” said Huelskamp. “I’ve signed on to an alternative called the American Healthcare Reform Act that has some great reforms in there, it’s not perfect, but they’ve never let us debate it on the floor.”

Any alternative would be a massive change and take years to put together Huelskamp admitted,”but what I see across America is a growing discontent with Obamacare, and this is probably still the most unpopular bill ever passed by congress in recent history.”

There were both supporters and opponents of the law present during the meeting, at times creating a heated debate on the issue.
