Marjorie Taylor Greene Criticizes GOP Healthcare Response, Mike Johnson Defends Amid Party Tensions

Marjorie Taylor Greene has publicly criticized House Speaker Mike Johnson and Republican leadership for their handling of the healthcare crisis, particularly their lack of a clear policy plan to address the expiration of Affordable Care Act subsidies. Greene called Johnson's behavior "unacceptable" and accused the GOP of inaction leading to a "healthcare disaster" that could cause financial ruin for Americans. In response, Johnson dismissed Greene's criticism as an "absurd statement," explaining that detailed policy discussions cannot be held on monitored GOP conference calls to avoid premature media leaks. He emphasized that Republicans have been actively working on healthcare solutions but have not disclosed specifics publicly yet. The dispute occurs amid ongoing partisan battles over extending ACA tax credits, with Democrats warning that failure to do so could significantly increase insurance premiums. Johnson also noted Greene's current lack of involvement in the policy discussions but indicated she would be engaged soon.
