More than 150 people showed up Thursday at a town hall in Palco, Kansas — which is home to less than 300 people — to talk to Senator Jerry Moran about health care. Some were from Palco and the surrounding communities, others had driven from as far away as Kansas City to voice their concerns over the bill.
