U.S. Congressman Jeb Hensarling (TX-05) held a town hall meeting Aug. 7 to update the citizens of Van Zandt County on his continued efforts to hold Washington accountable to the American people and to hear from them about the issues that are most concerning to them.
Hensarling discussed topics ranging from Obamacare, the Supreme Court, Planned Parenthood and the export and import fight.
The meeting was opened by County Judge Don Kirkpatrick thanking the people for showing up and introducing Hensarling, “he’s a friend to Van Zandt County, East Texas and he serves us well in Washington.”
Obamacare
Hensarling started his speech by saying he tries to stay optimistic but, “the U.S. has a Supreme Court not worth any respect with the passing of Obamacare.” Hensarling admitted that, “the left has been working on Obamacare before Obama was even born.” He says they were patient and they were persistent and they never lost hope and grabbed ground whenever they could. Hensarling said that he won’t lose hope thought to get the people the healthcare that is right for them.
