She seems on the verge of becoming a Socialist, which is a dirty word for the vast majority of brainwashed dumb American morons. Anything that benefits the average person is considered "socialist", while anything that benefits the big scamming corporations is considered patriotic duty. Americans are told to consume - buy junk they don't need - because that is what drives the economy. That is why the vast majority of Americans live on debt and do not save.
Former Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene said Wednesday she does not have health insurance and traveled to Mexico for stem cell therapy, citing soaring U.S. healthcare costs as a key reason.
In a post on X, Greene said many Americans are leaving the U.S. for medical treatments they either cannot access at home or cannot afford.
Greene said the stem cell therapy she received is not approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, which is one reason she sought treatment in Mexico.
I am 52 and I do NOT have health insurance.
Healthcare costs are out of control, and more Americans are leaving the U.S. for medical tourism treatments they can't access in the United States or can't afford at home.
That's why I traveled to Mexico for Stem Cell therapy.

Greene said a family of four in the U.S. can spend up to $27,000 a year on health insurance, with another $7,000 to $10,000 in deductibles.
"Health insurance is absurdly expensive," Greene said.
Her comments came as new data from Gallup and West Health showed healthcare affordability in the U.S. fell to its lowest level in five years.
Only 49% of U.S. adults said they could consistently afford quality healthcare and prescription drugs in 2025, down from 61% in 2022.
The survey found that about 2.8 million more Americans struggled to afford healthcare in 2025 than in 2024.
Rising Costs Strain Americans
Gallup found young adults, women, Black and Hispanic Americans, and people with chronic or mental health conditions were among the groups facing the biggest affordability challenges.
Concern over future healthcare costs is also rising. About 51% of Americans said they worry about paying for healthcare services, while 42% said they are concerned about affording prescription drugs.
Healthcare costs are also rising for insured Americans. Employer health benefit costs are expected to rise 6.7% in 2026 to at least $18,500 per employee, the largest annual increase in 15 years.
Many large employers are also expected to raise deductibles, copays and out-of-pocket costs, while prescription drug benefit costs are projected to rise around 9% in 2026.
Healthcare costs have become a growing political issue across party lines. Earlier this month, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) said the U.S. spends more than $15,000 per person on healthcare while millions remain uninsured or underinsured, calling for broader healthcare reform.
Now MTG just announced that she has no health insurance in the US, which is a major departure from standard Republican-GOP-MAGA's claims that the US has the "best healthcare system in the world", which is not true because the average cost of health care per capita in the US is double that other "advanced" countries.
This is even more qualified because Americans pay more and get less services as a result of poor coverage, copays and deductibles and other scams with which the healthcare industry rips off the American people.
AI says:
The United States spends significantly more on healthcare per capita than any other nation, with costs averaging $14,885 in 2024, nearly double the $7,371 average for other wealthy OECD countries. This disparity is driven primarily by higher prices for services rather than higher utilization, as Americans actually receive fewer doctor visits and hospital stays per person than their international peers.
I personally go overseas for all my healthcare, even though I have insurance in the US (which I am planning to terminate soon). The cost of paying for surgery from my own pocket overseas is always less than anything I might spend in the US, including premiums, copays, deductibles.
Numskull republicans are in cahoots with the medical industry, the doctors' associations, the drug manufacturers and the biggest scammer of all, the health care insurance industry, to keep bilking the average American out of the little money they earn to survive in a Trump-induced disastrous economy.

Republicans fought Barack Obama like mad to prevent him from offering a state-, or government-run, healthcare program that would compete with the private insurance scammers. The GOP criminal morons claim they are for free market competition, but they would not allow an honest, common sense competition between the government and the private scammers because they know that this would bring the cost of health care down and would prevent the private scammers from ripping off the American people as they do now.
But it will take a lot to de-brainwash Americans and get them to think for themselves.
