While most Republicans, including President Trump and GOP congressional leaders, insist on passing a &#8220;clean&#8221; continuing resolution without additional provisions like extending subsidies, Greene joins a small but growing group of Republican lawmakers advocating for immediate action to prevent rising insurance costs. Democrats are pushing to include the subsidy extension in the spending bill to avoid harming millions of Americans&#8217; healthcare coverage. The disagreement led to a government shutdown after Senate Republicans failed to secure enough Democratic support for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/no-government-shutdown-house-passes-stopgap-funding-bill-to-keep-washington-open\/\" title=\"No ...: House Passes Stopgap Funding Bill To Keep Washington Open\">stopgap funding measure<\/a>. Greene criticized GOP leadership for not communicating or offering a plan to address soaring insurance premiums, emphasizing the need to prioritize Americans&#8217; healthcare costs over foreign aid and military spending. <br \/> <!DOCTYPE html><br \/>\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">MTG joins handful of Republicans in favor of extending Obamacare subsidies<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2365857\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>Rep. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/marjorie-taylor-greene\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Marjorie Taylor Greene<\/a> (R-GA) revealed on Monday that she&rsquo;s bucking <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/republicans\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Republican<\/a> leadership in supporting a measure to attach Obamacare subsidies to a government spending bill.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;I&rsquo;m absolutely disgusted that health insurance premiums will DOUBLE if the tax credits expire this year,&rdquo; she wrote in a scathing<a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/repmtg\/status\/1975337063697555652?s=46\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> post<\/a> on X.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"recommended-stories\">\n<h2>Recommended Stories<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/campaigns\/3837439\/voter-like-candidate-suport-war-alzheimer\/\">Voters like candidates supporting war on Alzheimer&#8217;s: Poll<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/policy\/healthcare\/3837101\/rfk-jr-no-choice-approve-abortion-pill-what-law-says\/\">RFK Jr. said he had no choice but to approve abortion pill.

However, she joins a small but growing group of lawmakers who are challenging Republican leadership on the issue, signaling cracks are forming in the GOP coalition. Those lawmakers include Reps. Jen Kiggans (R-VA) and Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA) on the House side and&nbsp;Sens. Josh Hawley (R-MO), Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), and Susan Collins (R-ME) on the Senate side.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>President Donald Trump, House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA), and Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) have been adamant that the stopgap spending measure to keep the government open should be a &ldquo;clean&rdquo; continuing resolution, or CR. That means it is a simple bill designed to keep the government funded at current levels until Congress comes together later this fall to pass annual appropriations bills funding priorities such as healthcare, education, and the military.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Democrats have blocked passage of the CR, pushing to attach a provision extending Obamacare tax credits and arguing that failure to do so would result in weakened healthcare for millions of people.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Republicans believe the debate over the extensions should take place after the CR is passed and the government is opened. GOP leadership has suggested that such healthcare priorities are traditionally discussed within the context of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/house-republican-eyes-appropriations-process-to-defund-trump-prosecutions\/\" title=\"House ...ublican seeks to defund Trump prosecutions through appropriations process.\">annual appropriations process<\/a>, contending they are willing to consider talks to extend the tax credits at that time.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The stalemate triggered a government shutdown last week after Thune failed to acquire enough Democratic support to push the House-passed CR across the finish line in the upper chamber.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">I was not in Congress when all this Obamacare, &ldquo;Affordable Care Act&rdquo; bullshit started.
