Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene criticized Republican leadership on Tuesday for failing to present a healthcare strategy as open enrollment approaches. The Georgia congresswoman confronted Speaker Mike Johnson on a GOP conference call, warning that inaction could cause insurance premiums under the Affordable Care Act to double or triple for millions of Americans. Greene accused her party of abandoning voters and demanded answers about legislative plans before enrollment begins on November 1, 2025.
Johnson responded that committees are developing solutions but declined to share specific proposals with the conference. Greene expressed frustration that accessing Republican healthcare plans requires entering a secure facility. She also condemned the government shutdown approach for damaging President Trump's approval ratings and called for the House to resume operations. Johnson rejected her suggestion to eliminate the Senate filibuster, which Greene argues is necessary for immediate action on healthcare.
