Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) touted Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s (R-Ga.) call to extend Affordable Care Act (ACA) subsidies, as he doubled down on his opposition to funding the government without addressing the expiring tax credits.
In remarks on the Senate floor Tuesday, the Democratic leader read aloud from part of a social media post in which Greene said she’s “absolutely disgusted” that health insurance premiums could double if the ACA subsidies expire at the end of the year, breaking with her party on an issue at the center of the government shutdown standoff.
“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,” Greene wrote in the part of the post Schumer read aloud.
“So hold on to your hats,” Schumer continued in his floor remarks, after reading the post. “I think this is the first time I said this, but, on this issue, Representative Greene said it perfectly.”
“Representative Greene is absolutely right,” he added.
Greene, in her post on Monday night, made clear she does not support the ACA and thinks the entire health insurance system is flawed. But she criticized her party’s leadership for failing to make the expiring tax credits, which will affect many GOP constituents, more of a priority.
“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!!!” she wrote, adding, “WE HAVE TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THE ABSOLUTELY INSANE COST OF INSURANCE FOR AMERICANS.”
Schumer, in his remarks on Tuesday, blamed Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) for the shutdown and sharply criticized Johnson for refusing...

Nice to see that you are fine with her giving the left and dems talking points. Amazing, you Israel haters are cement on that subject but you turtle up against the left. Sickening.
Bottom line you guys despise Israel more than you hate the left
Kiss of death IMO for nutcase Greene.
I watched the 2024 election returns on PBS last week. It was worse than MSNBC. Trump better not fold.
ACA subsidies are the least offensive of their ideas. Maybe that is a carrot.
Wasn’t this the subsidy Biden expanded to able bodied near the end of Covid? It was temporary Covid funding?
Tort reform will do the same.
On local Conservative radio there’s a jackwagon from the area in the securities/stocks business who bloviates on a regular basis re the market. I believe he’s not only a rino, but closet dem.
The other day he was bemoaning the threatened loss of aca subsidies as it would pertain to the markets.
My emailed comment was apropos.
All these years later, and McCain’s keeping ObamaCare alive is still haunting this country.
Tort reform certainly worked in Texas. Physicians flooded to Texas after medical tort reform was passed about ten years ago.
“Make everyone pay cash.”
I agree in theory. But not everyone has cash to pay for health care.
The part of the ACA banning the opening of physician-owned medical centers that only took cash should be repealed.
This provision not only stifles choice and competition (which was the point - the ACA/Obamacare was first and foremost a corporatist boondoggle) but also capacity.
The Communist Manifesto specifically focuses on income taxes.
Did you read the article?
She wants Obamacare repealed, but canceling the subsidies without repealing Obamacare is going to double the price for people trapped in it.
I guess as long as it doesn’t affect you, it’s all good.
She is giving the Dems talking points, bottom line.
OMG! Talking points! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG!
“Amazing, you Israel haters...”
Thanks for showing everyone how smart you are.
They are holding the Government hostage to get there way like the thugs they are. No giving in to them. Leftists should be deported from America.
