Greene says Johnson 'refused' to share health care plans during heated conference call

WASHINGTON — Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., ripped into the shutdown strategy of her fellow Republicans and White House staff during a heated conference call on Tuesday.

Her chief complaint, which she has also aired publicly, is that Republicans are not doing anything to address the looming health care cliff, she confirmed on X after the call. Some funding for insurance coverage under the Affordable Care Act expires at the end of this year, and many Americans could see their monthly premium costs double or even triple.

The issue has increased urgency because open enrollment begins on Saturday, Nov. 1, and there are concerns that people may drop their coverage for 2026 if they see a spike in prices.

On Tuesday, Greene accused her party of letting the country down, according to a Republican source who was on the conference call. Greene later confirmed the comments herself, even adding more detail, in the latest sign of a rift between her and her party.

two parts:
1) Don't get sick;
2) If you get sick, die quickly. And have several kids that can take your place in the factory making our profits.

Because it doesn’t exist. Fake Christian Johnson can’t share with you the gop healthcare plan because it doesn’t exist. But, America does not NEED a cure for baldness.

When she was interviewed on the Young Turks she mentioned she never watches Fox News and actually watches some left-wing shows.

It's obvious that has the gears turning in her head at least *somewhat*.

Imagine if we had a media that cared about truth and predominately looked out for the interest of average Americans. We'd definitely have a much healthier democracy.

The wind changed in Georgia and she's scrambling to keep the grift. End of story.

There is no "plan" except to cut people off from medical care so Dr. Oz can do his hunger games medical care crap. Steve Miller can watch it like a reality show and beat off.

Yes I'm being ridiculously crude for an old lady with better manners... sorry folks... I've had it up to my whazits with these crap heads.

she can say it wasn’t her fault. And if they’re not screwed she can say she fought for their health care.

The Intolerable Acts of 1774 were a series of punitive laws passed by the British Parliament in response to the Boston Tea Party, which closed Boston's port, limited Massachusetts' self-governance, allowed British officials to be tried elsewhere, and required colonists to house British soldiers. These acts, which colonists called the "Intolerable Acts" (and which the British called the Coercive Acts), united the colonies in opposition to British rule and led to the First Continental Congress.
