Kansas City, Mo. – In the Kansas City area and beyond, health-care town halls held by Members of Congress have been turned into tirades by people who've found an outlet for fury. Many seem outraged at a system they can't control. It's not an original phenomenon in recent political history. KCUR's Dan Verbeck talked with a Kansas City academic who makes it her job to observe. He shares the conversation.
