In a heated call, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene chastises Republicans over their shutdown strategy [View all]

(NBC News) WASHINGTON — Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., ripped into the shutdown strategy of her fellow Republicans and White House staff during a heated conference call on Tuesday.

Her chief complaint, which she has also aired publicly, is that Republicans are not doing anything to address the looming health care cliff, she confirmed on X after the call. Some funding for insurance coverage under the Affordable Care Act expires at the end of this year, and many Americans could see their monthly premium costs double or even triple.

The issue has increased urgency because open enrollment begins on Saturday, Nov. 1, and there are concerns that people may drop their coverage for 2026 if they see a spike in prices.
