"'Should people in the richest society in history have access to life saving care' isn't the gotcha he thinks it is."
Lincoln, Nebraska – Republican Congressman Mike Flood faced a boisterous and at times hostile crowd during a recent town hall meeting in Lincoln, Nebraska. The event, intended as a forum for public engagement, quickly became a heated exchange as constituents challenged the Congressman on several contentious issues. A central point of contention was the topic of healthcare. When Congressman Flood posed the question, "Do you think that people who are 28 years old, that can work and refuse to work, should get free healthcare?", a significant portion of the audience responded with a resounding "Yes." Flood then asserted, "I don't think that a majority of Nebraskans agree with you," a statement that was met with widespread boos. He further elaborated on his position, stating, "If you are able to work and you are able-bodied, you have to work. If you choose not to work, you do not get free healthcare." This declaration was met with further strong disapproval from the crowd. The discussion also veered into other sensitive areas. One woman from the audience directly questioned Congressman Flood, asking, "Why are you covering up the Epstein Files?" In response, Flood stated his support for James Comer, the House Oversight Committee chairman, in subpoenaing Ghislaine Maxwell for testimony related to Epstein, and affirmed, "I am for the release of those records." The atmosphere remained charged throughout the event, reflecting the deep divisions and strong opinions held by the constituents regarding national policy and accountability.
