Watch Fox News' Steve Doocy's uncomfortable response for a voter whose husband died 'because he didn't have health care'

When a Missouri woman told Fox News' Steve Doocy a very personal story about health care, the host had an uncomfortable follow-up to keep things focused on the election.

On Tuesday night, Doocy visited a bar to figure out who Missourians were rooting for in the state's Senate race. That's where he met a woman who said she voted for Democratic Sen. Claire McCaskill (Mo.) because her husband "died because he was poor in America." He didn't have health care, she said, so Doocy quickly asked if that made health care "the No. 1 issue for you?"

The voter, unsurprisingly, said yes, and Doocy spun away to make his awkward moment even more awkward. Watch it all below. Kathryn Krawczyk
