‘It’s a damn shame’: MTG rips US healthcare as she undergoes stem cell treatment in Mexico

BUCERIAS, MEXICO: Marjorie Taylor Greene and her fiance, Brian Glenn, underwent stem cell treatments in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, on Saturday, June 6, to focus on anti-aging and long-term health.

During her visit, she harshly criticized the American healthcare system, arguing that citizens should not be forced to leave the country to access medical options that are restricted at home.

It is to be noted that Greene has long been passionate about fitness, a habit she formed back when she owned a CrossFit gym.

She told 'TMZ' that she does not have health insurance, choosing to put that money toward alternative health treatments instead.

Before getting the treatment, Greene, on a social media post on X, shared her frustration with the current state of American medicine, stating, “I’m 52 and enjoying a weekend out on medical tourism for my health. It’s a damn shame that not only do Americans pay absurd amounts for health insurance and healthcare, but we also don’t have access to incredible treatments at home.”

The treatments took place at the Dream Body Clinic, which is a common place for these treatments that has not yet been approved by US federal regulators. 

The US Food and Drug Administration generally does not allow these types of stem cell therapies because they have not gone through the long and strict process required to prove they are safe and effective.

Despite this, Greene told 'TMZ' that she is a vocal supporter of the practice and believes these treatments should be legal in the US. 

She views this visit as part of her personal effort to stay healthy and active, moving ahead with these treatments despite the fact that they are not approved by US health officials.

She has not shared specific details about what the IV treatments contained or exactly how they are supposed to work.  

Strengthening ties between Greene and Massie

This trip to Mexico follows an earlier vacation that Greene took in Costa Rica with Representative Thomas Massie.

The two were seen together with their families during that time, which caused a lot of talk about their growing political partnership.

Massie recently told TMZ that he sees her as an important voice for the future of the Republican Party and has even hinted at potential shifts within the GOP.
