Quote of the Day

“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. Let’s just say as nicely as possible, I’m not a fan. 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. . . .Not a single Republican in leadership talked to us about this or has given us a plan to help Americans deal with their health insurance premiums DOUBLING!!!”
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA)
Though Green opposes the ACA, the lawmaker breaks with GOP leaders to support extending its tax credits—warning that without them, her constituents’ and children’s premiums will double. She blasts Republicans for offering no plan to fix it.
