Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene (R) has continued to air out her grievances over the state of healthcare in this country, blaming Democrats for passing the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and Republicans for failing to shut it down. 

Greene first became heavily critical after the government shutdown, which is set to enter its third week with no compromise between Senate Democrats and Republicans in sight. 

For the Georgia Republican, the affair boils down to one thing: healthcare spending. Republicans want to allow ACA tax credits to expire and defund healthcare spending for illegal immigrants. Democrats want to retain ACA tax credits and ensure healthcare funding for illegal immigrants.

Greene traces the healthcare crisis back to 2010, when the ACA was passed and implemented by the federal government. She argued this in response to Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D) blaming Republicans for the healthcare crisis.

Greene also responded to House Speaker Mike Johnson (R), who claimed that many Republicans are skeptical of repealing and replacing the ACA. According to him, the roots are too deep, and it was knowingly created to implode within itself. To Greene, this position is unacceptable, and Republicans need to act as soon as possible.

Finally, Greene pointed to the increase in ACA premiums that has been almost entirely paid for by taxpayers. This kind of spending is unsustainable, and the Georgia Representative has urged Republicans to confront this and make healthcare affordable again.
