Woman with dying husband confronts Tom Cotton: "What kind of insurance do you have?"

Republican lawmakers around the country are facing angry backlash from their constituents over Obamacare and other issues at packed town halls. But an event for Arkansas Republican Sen. Tom Cotton on Wednesday night got especially heated.

One voter, her voice raw with emotion, told Cotton that her husband is dying and has Alzheimer’s and other conditions.

“And you want to stand there with him at home, expect us to be calm, cool, and collected? Well what kind of insurance do you have?” she said, as the crowd erupted.




The woman told Cotton that they currently pay only $29 a month for her husband’s insurance and $39 a month for hers. They can’t afford higher premiums, she said. “If you can get us better coverage than this, go for it,” she said. “Can you beat that? Can you?”

At one point, another attendee asked members of the audience to stand up if they were affected by Obamacare. Nearly everyone did.
