'Single Payer! Single Payer!': Key Trumpcare Backer Drowned Out During Town Hall"This is your healthcare bill. It was dead in the water and could have stayed dead in the water. It was done," said Derek Reichenbecher, a teacher from Point Pleasant who told MacArthur he had a heart condition and fears facing the insurance marketplace if he loses his job. "You brought it back from the dead. It's yours. You own it."
Geoff Ginter of Point Beach, whose wife survived a cancer battle, told MacArthur, "You are the reason I can't sleep at night." "You're a liar. Have you read your own bill?" one audience member yelled.
As MacArthur attempted to say that the insurance market was "collapsing," an audience member shouted, "Because you drilled holes in it!" and a spontaneous chant began: "
Single payer! Single payer! Single payer! Single payer!"
"Some of you want single-payer across the board? Medicare for all?" MacArthur later asked sarcastically. Wild applause followed.
