"Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) expressed concern Thursday that the cost of living has not come down under President Donald Trump, leaving some Americans feeling hopeless for the future. Greene appeared on CNN Thursday for an extended interview with Wolf Blitzer and Pamela Brown. I am a Republican and I support the president, Greene asserted before calling the cost of health insurance a crisis."
"Greene said constituents are telling us stories about how they're already paying $2,000 a month with $10,000 deductibles. I'm getting phone calls from people that are saying if the ACA tax credits expire, they aren't going to be able to have health insurance. They're going to have to drop it. But I'm hearing from people on both sides, people already on the ACA and people that are already getting crushed by high health insurance premiums."
"Brown asked if Greene was concerned about the cost of living that President Trump said he would lower? Inflation crushed people in the past four-and-a-half years, and the costs have not come down, Greene said, continuing: I myself can tell you my apartment here in Washington, D.C., the electricity bill is $100 more than it was last year, because you can look at your own bill and look at at costs prices have not come down. That is a reality."
Cost of living has not come down under President Donald Trump, leaving some Americans feeling hopeless for the future. Health insurance costs are a crisis for many, with reports of individuals paying $2,000 per month and facing $10,000 deductibles. Some people fear losing coverage if ACA tax credits expire, and both ACA enrollees and others are burdened by high premiums. Inflation over the past four-and-a-half years has driven up utility bills and prices while wages have not kept pace. Many Americans, particularly younger adults, are struggling financially and express pessimism about their economic prospects.
