Sen. Jeff Merkley Gets an Earful From Upset Constituents Over Obamacare

Constituent: 'It's interesting that he would come and not say anything about it'

Sen. Jeff Merkley (D., Ore.) got an earful from constituents at a town hall meeting in central Oregon over Obamacare, KTVZ reports. Ironically, Merkley apparently avoided the subject of healthcare reform during the meeting:

Sen. Jeff Merkley, D-Ore., is running for re-election, and on Saturday he held three town hall meetings across the High Desert to answer questions about the challenges facing Oregon and the country.

Not everyone in attendance was pleased with the job Merkley has done at the Capitol, especially when it comes to the biggest controversy: health care reform.

"It's interesting that he would come and not say anything about it," Maurice Langsev said. "He followed the Democrats over the cliff like a bunch of sheep when they voted for this bill."
