Todd Akin (R-MO) blows off telephone town haller

There was an interesting comment by one of our readers yesterday, who has graciously allowed me to post it for everyone to see (emphasis mine):

My congressman, Todd Akin (R - Missouri) just hosted a "telephone town hall". I was called and told I could listen in and push zero if I wanted to ask a question. Apparently, there are 1600 people on the phone at a time. A woman called, said that her husband had just retired and was on Medicare, but she is too young and has a preexisting condition and can't find any insurance. She wanted to know what Akin would do for people like her. His response? "The Democrats want to give Grandma a pat on the back and an aspirin." No offer of ANYTHING he would do. Just lies. There were prior lies, but that one was too much. I yelled into the phone a bunch and finally hung up on him. He is going to do exactly what Grayson said. Nothing.

Here's what Grayson said, per my post of yesterday:

Because if you get sick and those bills are mounting, and you're in the hospital and you're feeling weaker and weaker, and you've got no way to pay for this, then what are they gonna do for you? Nothing. They're gonna do nothing."

Anyone gotten wind of a Rushpublic who can refute that? ...
