Mount Sterling -- U.S. Rep. Andy Barr was laughed at, booed, interrupted, scolded and, a few times, praised by constituents who packed inside the Montgomery County Courthouse Annex early Wednesday morning.
The Republican from Lexington heard stories from multiple people who benefited from the Affordable Care Act, and one who was hurt by it. But at the end of his hour-long “Coffee with your Congressman,” which Barr said was his 68th since taking office in 2013, he said none of what he heard changed his mind.
“In fact, I mean, I’m reinvigorated to fix this broken health care system,” Barr said. “I know my constituents who are flooding my office with calls and Obamacare is making life harder for them.”
With Congress in recess, Kentucky’s federal lawmakers have returned to their districts to face constituents for the first time since President Donald Trump took office in January.
