Greene: GOP shoulders blame for not correcting ACA as health premiums set to rise
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) is casting much of the blame for rising health premiums on her own party, arguing Republicans should have reformed the Affordable Care Act, and its expiring tax credits, sooner.
Expiring subsidies in the Obama-era bill have been at the forefront of Democrats' challenge to the House-passed continuing resolution that would reopen the government after funding lapsed more than a month ago.
