With all the talk, the congresswoman repeatedly sided alongside colleagues attempting to undermine health insurance."
Records reveal the congresswoman supported Medicaid reductions along with cuts to expanded tax incentives for Obamacare during the summer, but Greene later criticized medical coverage reductions after premiums increased last month.
GOP Comments
