Rural America Faces a Crisis if Congress Fails to Extend the Health Care Tax Credits
Americans living in rural communities will disproportionately experience higher costs if Congress fails to extend the health care tax credits set to expire at the end of the year.
- A recent report by The Century Foundation (https://tcf.org/content/commentary/rural-americans-face-unprecedented-price-hikes-for-health-care/) estimates that Americans living in rural communities would face an average 107 percentincrease in premium costs, an 18 percentage point difference compared to Americans living in more urban areas.
Enhanced premium tax credits have been a lifeline for rural communities, drastically reducing health care costs for working families, including farmers and small businesspeople. For millions of rural households, the credits make health care affordable and accessible--especially in cases where families have greater coverage for telehealth services and virtual care--providing both peace of mind and better health outcomes.
If Congress fails to extend the enhanced premium tax credits, rural America is projected to experience disproportionate consequences, including:
- $22 billion in losses for rural hospitals.
- A 30 percent decrease in marketplace enrollment and a 37 percent increase in their uninsured populations for most rural states.
- 15 percent of Americans who would lose the tax credits live outside cities.
- 27 percent of farmers, ranchers and other agricultural managers obtain their health care coverage through the individual market and may lose the tax credits.
- 2.8 million rural consumers risk losing health coverage, including 776,000 adults nearing retirement age and more than 223,000 children.
Recent data from the Urban Institute shows the dramatic consequences for states with a higher percentage of residents in rural communities--Texas, South Carolina, Mississippi, Louisiana and Georgia. The uninsured population in those states would jump by 21 percent or greater if Congress allows the tax credits to expire.

Plaintiffs And Federal Reserve Move To Extend Stay In Stress Test Litigation Until November 12
*
Washington, D.C. - The Plaintiffs and Federal Reserve filed a joint motion to extend a stay in litigation challenging the Federal Reserve's stress testing framework. The joint motion, filed late last night between the Federal Reserve and a coalition of bank and business groups, requests that the Court extend a pause in the case from October 15 to November 12 or the date on whichthe plaintiffs file their next brief, whichever is sooner.
"The Federal Reserve acknowledges that more work remains to meet its public commitments," the plaintiffs stated. "Capital requirements affect America's economic competitiveness, which is why we support the Federal Reserve's diligent work toward a more transparent and rational capital framework."
Quick Recap
This is the second request for an extension of the stay in the case. The initial stay expired on August 1 and was extended to October 15. In the parties' latest extension request, the Federal Reserve stated that it expects to publish notices of proposed rulemaking to revise the stress test framework by October 24. The forthcoming revisions to the stress testing framework are expected to:
* Fully disclose the stress test models and invite public comment;
* Establish a process to solicit public feedback on the annual stress test scenarios and future changes to the models;
* Seek comment on the scenario design framework; and
* Introduce more objective standards, including for the global market shock and the largest counterparty default components.
The case is currently pending in the Southern District of Ohio. The plaintiffs include the Bank Policy Institute, the American Bankers Association, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the Ohio Bankers League and the Ohio Chamber of Commerce.

Outdoor Industry Association: Government Shutdown to Weaken Outdoor Economy
Outdoor Industry Association (OIA) today expressed serious concern regarding the federal government shutdown and its impact on the $1.2 trillion outdoor recreation economy. With public lands already understaffed, the shutdown is expected to place additional strain on the industry and local businesses that rely on outdoor visitation to national parks, which added $56 billion to the U.S. economy last year.
"Agovernment shutdown poses a serious threat to the $1.2 trillion outdoor recreation economy," said OIA President Kent Ebersole. "Public lands and national parks are already facing critical staffing shortages, and a shutdown would further disrupt operations, restrict access in some areas, and jeopardize the livelihoods of hard-working Americans in gateway communities that depend on recreation and tourism. With visitors across the country planning trips this fall, the shutdown will lead to cancelled reservations and reduced business activity with lasting impacts. Leaving public lands unattended leaves them vulnerable to vandalism and disrepair, undermining the outdoor recreation economy."
OIA urges Congress and the administration to resolve a shutdown swiftly and to avoid any further reductions in staffing that would undermine the management of our public lands. A stable and fully supported federal workforce is essential to sustaining the outdoor economy and ensuring outdoor access for millions of Americans.

Federal Government Shutdown Impacts on Agencies and Programs Important to People Living with MS
At midnight on September 30, 2025, a federal government shutdown went into effect. When the President and Congress fail to agree on spending bills to fund the federal agencies and programs, the result is a lapse in federal appropriations. This means that there is no money approved to fund those federal agencies or programs - resulting in a shutdown. Currently, the federal government has been operating undera continuing resolution (CR) for most of the year, which was set to expire on September 30, 2025
Agencies and programs important to people living with and affected by MS that may be impacted by a government shutdown could include:
* Social Security Administration (SSA) programs
* Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)
* Internal Revenue Service (IRS)
* Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)
* Department of Agriculture (USDA)
* Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP)
* Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
* Unemployment benefits
* National Institutes of Health (NIH)
* Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
* Medicare telehealth waivers; and more
This document provides guidance based on the best available information about how a shutdown may affect people living with MS. The federal government will provide and post more detailed plans, which may evolve the longer the shutdown continues.
The National MS Society is not a government agency and does not rely on government funding. Therefore, there will be no direct impact to the Society.
The National MS Society's Shaping Tomorrow Together initiative's meeting scheduled for October 29, 2025, will still take place. Many U.S. Food and Drug Administration employees who work on issues related to patient-focused drug development will continue to work during the shutdown, but their participation in the meeting may be limited.
Join the MS Activist Network today to learn more about how you can contact your elected officials about policy priorities impacting people living with MS
