Greene said she’s “not a fan” of Obamacare but complained that her “own adult children’s insurance premiums for 2026 are going to DOUBLE” if Congress ignores the issue.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., broke with her party Monday evening by calling for action on expiring Obamacare subsidies to avoid premium hikes, adding a prominent MAGA voice to the cause led by Democrats.
In a long post on X, Greene, the far-right MAGA firebrand, made it clear she was not in Congress when the 2010 law passed.
“Let’s just say as nicely as possible, I’m not a fan,” she wrote. “But I’m going to go against everyone on this issue because when the tax credits expire this year my own adult children’s insurance premiums for 2026 are going to DOUBLE, along with all the wonderful families and hard-working people in my district.”
Yes, but, at least we have that? Also, with the house 50/50, having any sitting representative defect would be big.
There’s still hope. We also have top brass in the militaries scoffing at Hedgweth, the midterms coming up, and even Trump possibly recognizing that Fox News is lying to him. Plus the lawsuits delaying deployment of our militaries into the cities.
There is still hope, and no one can predict the future.
No because the way conservatives work is that they’ll complain only when things happen to them, and then completely shut up about it once they realize their side doesn’t care. They’ll take having things worse over speaking out against their own party. They are a cult and are not able to think for themselves.
If cult says double premiums are a good thing, they’ll privately grumble and then take it on the chin.
That’s how they used to work. My dad decided to vote in a government that directly harms me and my siblings. Sad to see MTG being a better parent
She’s all talk but I promise you in a couple days she won’t mention this again at all.
I don’t know if this is entirely true. Have you heard about MTG rallying against healthcare cost increases?
A lot of R’s are just sports fans for their team. They only care about things that affect them because that’s the only way they can understand issues, lacking any sense of empathy necessary to “imagine” scenarios other people might be living with.
This moronic ape lady finally understands one of the issues. Might as well applaud her and hope others follow.
You’re correct but they fall in line. If the rest of conservatives are quiet and don’t care, they’ll accept the changes even if it hurts them. They’ll just blame “the liberals”. Just like they’ve always done.
