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.”

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.
