Haas stared straight ahead, front-and-center in an auditorium with 500 people, and tried to interrupt Coffman as the congressman described his own experience signing up for Colorado's health care exchange, decried Medicaid expansion authorized by the bill and lamented the lack of insurance carriers in rural areas.
