HOLDREGE, Neb. U.S. Sen. Deb Fischer smiled gamely through several choruses of boos Thursday as she met with Nebraskans upset at the prospect of losing health care and angry that President Donald Trump refuses to release his tax returns.
One woman at the boisterous and sometimes emotional gathering told Fischer that her husband contracted polio as a young man and that the law commonly known as Obamacare allowed her family to access affordable health care for the first time in their lives.
Fischer supports the repeal of the Affordable Care Act.
As a member of the Senate, you, Sen. Fischer, hold peoples lives in your hands. I hope you understand that, said Dee Erb, 62, of Milford.

There's no bait and switch here. You got exactly what you voted for with the obergropenfuhrer. And your senator is goose stepping obediently along. Your indignation rings hollow.
