Greene expressed frustration that Republican leaders have not presented a plan to prevent these increases, emphasizing her stance against taxpayer-funded healthcare for illegal immigrants and advocating for healthcare solutions exclusively benefiting American citizens. She referenced data from the kaiser family Foundation showing that without the tax credits, premiums could more than double. Greene also condemned U.S. financial support to foreign conflicts and promised to work on a healthcare plan focused on Americans only. Senate Majority Leader John thune acknowledged the issue but stated reforms are necessary and negotiations cannot proceed until the government reopens, criticizing the current premium tax credits as prone to fraud and abuse.  <\/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\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?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<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Slamming her own party, as well as aid sent to Israel and Ukraine, Republican Rep.
