Issa is a no show at packed healthcare town hall [View all]

Source: CBS

VISTA (CBS 8) - Anger erupted at a town hall on the repeal of the Affordable Care Act in North County Tuesday night as Rep. Darrell Issa, R- Vista did not now show, but hundreds of his constituents did.

Earlier on Tuesday, Congressman Issa released an initial draft of proposed legislation Tuesday that would repeal and replace the Affordable Healthcare Act, as demonstrators on both sides rallied outside his North County office.

"The Access to Insurance for All Americans Act" put forth by Issa would allow the public to buy in to the same insurance plans provided to federal employees and their families.

He said his plan would give Americans access to affordable, high quality, privately-run health insurance plans that guarantee coverage for pre-existing conditions and allow for coverage for dependents until age 26.
