A Virginia crowd laughed at LuAnn Bennett after she emphatically stated that the Affordable Care Act has decreased the cost of healthcare during a Wednesday debate.

Bennet, who is running against incumbent Republican Barbara Comstock in the Virginia’s 10th congressional district, first told the crowd “for the last 50 years, both parties have agreed we have a health care crisis.”

WATCH:

“By 2005, we had 47 million uninsured Americans,” Bennett explained. “Health care costs had grown to 16 percent of our GDP.”

“The Affordable Care Act has made healthcare more affordable.”

The audience clearly disagreed with the final part of Bennett’s statement.
