People EVERYWHERE need to GO TO ANY MEETING HELD BY THOSE WHO VOTED TO REPEAL OBAMACARE AND INSIST ON SEEING THE REPLACEMENT NOW!!!  They have had 8 years to make the plan - SHOW US THE OBAMACARE REPLACEMENT PLAN YOU WILL THRUST UPON US!!!

On Saturday, Republican Rep. Mike Coffman held an event for his constituents at a public library in Aurora, Colorado. At least 150 constituents showed up, most of them hoping to ask Coffman about his recent vote to repeal the Affordable Care Act and his plans for a replacement.

When the crowd grew restless, police put up crime scene tape and Coffman snuck out the back door—six minutes before the event was scheduled to end.

Coffman co-authored Denver Postop-ed on Friday urging the full and immediate repeal of the ACA.

But neither Ruoff nor many other constituents who stand to lose coverage had an opportunity meet with Coffman. When it grew clear that Coffman would refuse to meet with a majority of those at the event, the crowd channeled its agitation into patriotic songs:
