Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene (R) is airing out her grievances the current state of healthcare in this country. The Georgia Representative shared this week that she agrees with Democrats that the American people are facing a crisis of healthcare affordability, but she blames a different source.
Republicans have sounded the alarm, blaming Senate Democrats for allowing the government shutdown to continue due to concerns about healthcare spending. Democrats argue that they cannot support a bill that raises the cost of healthcare.
Greene questions this approach, claiming that the Affordable Care Act (ACA) is originally responsible for skyrocketing health insurance premiums.
I was not in Congress when all this Obamacare, “Affordable Care Act” bullshit started. I got here in 2021. As a matter of fact, the ACA made health insurance UNAFFORDABLE for my family after it was passed, with skyrocketing premiums higher than our house payment.

She illustrated just how unaffordable health insurance has become, claiming that healthy people pay over $20,000 a year just on premiums, even though they hardly cash in on the benefits.
The toothpaste (Obamacare - ACA) is out of the tube.
Trying to make it clear that I think the entire system is messed up.
Health insurance is vastly unaffordable for all Americans especially since the cost of living has sky rocketed in the past 4 1/2 years.

Greene responded to a recent press conference with Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D) where he blamed Republicans and President Donald Trump (R) for both the affordability crisis and the government shutdown.
For Greene, Democrats are in no place to claim this, since they overwhelmingly supported the ACA when it was passed. She also claims that Republicans have no solution to this issue, which is why she has been vocal on the issue.
The ACA (Obamacare) was passed in 2010 by Democrats, which created the healthcare crisis we are now in.
The results have been insurers leaving the market place, premiums skyrocketing, and the level of care dropping.
D’s want to keep funding it and R’s have no new solution. https://t.co/IGswZJfJWR
