Rep. Mark Green, currently serving Tennessee’s 7th District, highlighted several vital healthcare and border security concerns through a series of tweets in April 2025. Green, a U.S. Congressman since 2019, addressed issues ranging from healthcare reform to border law enforcement.

On April 22, Green expressed concerns over who should be making critical healthcare decisions. He stated, "Doctors should be making vital healthcare decisions, not number crunchers in high-rise buildings. The best thing we can do for doctors and patients is to streamline care." He invited the public to read more about his bill aimed at reforming prior authorization requirements through a link provided.

The following day, Green supported a sentiment voiced by Business HBMA, an organization involved with medical billing management. In his post on April 23, he echoed their stance, saying, "I agree with @BusinessHBMA completely, 'Medical practices must dedicate a large portion of staff and financial resources to complying with these requirements. If passed, this bill would require board-certified clinicians with relevant medical backgrounds adjudicate prior.'"

In another tweet on April 23, Green shifted focus to border security, reporting, "With Southwest border apprehensions hitting yet another record-low, law and order is at an all-time high." A link followed for further details.

Mark E. Green, representing Tennessee’s 7th District, succeeded Marsha Blackburn in Congress in 2019, after serving in the Tennessee Senate from 2013 to 2018. Born in Jacksonville, Florida, Green has resided in Clarksville since his election to Congress.
