Washington, D.C. (September 19, 2025) –  Federation of American Hospitals (FAH) President and CEO Chip Kahn released the following statement after Congress failed to extend the health care tax credits as part of government funding legislation. 

“The health security of working families will be threatened if Congress fails to extend the health care tax credits before open enrollment on November 1. Premium notices are being sent, and Americans’ costs will go up if Congress does not act now. Time is of the essence: protect working families, keep costs down, and extend the health care tax credits.”
