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.”

If the shoe fits wear it. She is giving aid and cover to the left. Leftists should be deported from America like the seditionist demons they are.
Just shut her mouth and let Trump cook, she is an attention Whore.
Takes one to know one.
No quarter to the left.
What a great responce. Have your mug moron, I will stick with President Trump, even though he is too nice to the left to be the Pinochete they deserve.
Name calling. Figures.
I think you squared that ball up to put it in a baseball vernacular, too many admins and not enough MD’s.
Schumer used her inhis argument. Schumer is a golden calf jew sob, she just added the left, and yes, talking points matter in Polotics. Democrats want to hold the government hostage to give Healthcare to Illegals. They get NOTHING until the Government Shutdown ends. President Trump is about to fire these federal government leaches. Make the Demoncats scream.
And Democrats, including Schumer, NEVER use Trump in their arguments.
The Democrats are hostage taking thugs, and can not be allowed to get there way. The government stays shut down until they drop there demands.
This os a fight to the death to the left, you do not allow them to use hostage taking to get there way. Bottom line.
Need a hug bro?
I need the left smashed into pieces. The left keep pushing, they are going to get an AmericanPinochete.
MTG continues to be a whack job.
Didn’t even bother reading the article because you already know everything, right?
I really wish that MTG would pause, do a focus group in private and get her message straight. Sometimes she comes off as bat-guano crazy.
Today, rather sane and in my lane

That's the latest I could find.
So you think that invalidates it and the trend has not continued and there are much fewer administrators now?
If so, please provide your documentation.

Y'know, because the government can pay for the increase. What a nitwit.
