A Nebraska Congressman took a chance…held a town hall meeting…and faced a huge crowd often hostile to his message.

Congressman Jeff Fortenberry addressed a crowd estimated at 15-Hundred packed into a Lincoln high school, mainly addressing the Republican alternative to the Affordable Care Act. Fortenberry said he felt compelled to hold a town hall meeting. . .

Fortenberry says the attempt in the House is to stabilize the insurance markets which he contends have collapsed under the Affordable Care Act. . .

Fortenberry says he anticipated the rowdy crowd, saying it reflects the political and philosophical divide in the country.
