SNOW HILL, MD. — First District U.S. Rep. Frank Kratovil, visiting Wicomico and Worcester counties, heard a lot from constituents angry about proposed health care bills.
Kratovil had intended the visits to be for discussion of agriculture issues. Instead, he was greeted by sign-carrying residents unhappy with universal health care proposals.
Kratovil, a Democrat, said he does not support universal health care bills as they are currently written.
About 70 people cheered or jeered at a meeting in Snow Hill; about 75 gave Kratovil a similar reception in Wicomico County.
Kratovil said he is worried that pending health care plans don't control costs, and they don't do enough to protect small businesses.
