Democratic Response
Democratic lawmaker the New York representative, who often sparred against her colleague, criticized Greene's history concerning health policy while suggested her departure timing was carefully orchestrated just after her pension eligibility. The congresswoman remarked: "The representative's actions never supported that talk. With plenty of her talk, the congresswoman still aligned with colleagues seeking to gut medical coverage."
Congressional data show Greene supported medical assistance spending decreases and decreases to increased subsidies supporting Obamacare over the summer, but Greene later criticized ACA cuts after premiums rose in October.
Republican Responses

I shall miss having the congresswoman greatly."
