Around 30 people showed up at the Bel Air office of Congressman Andy Harris yesterday afternoon worried about the future of the Affordable Care Act.

The Eastern Shore Republican supports the repeal of Obamacare and says he is favors replacing it.

The group led by the organization Together We Will-Harford County/Upper Chesapeake carried signs and shouting slogans including one suggesting that the congressman was “missing in action” on the issue.

The Baltimore Sun reports that Harris was not in his Harford County office but that a community liaison did speak with a handful of marchers.

The paper reports that afterward the congressman issued a statement sharply criticizing the ACA and promising to hold town hall meetings on its replacement.
