Sen. Ben Cardin’s hour-long healthcare town hall is over after 23 questions and a great deal of hostility directed at the Maryland Democrat.
The Washington County audience of about 450 – filling the Hagerstown Community College theater to capacity – peppered Cardin with boos and jeers repeatedly, although supporters were evident at times too.
Cardin stayed late and took several extra questions, but appeared to make little headway winning over vocal opponents.
