Washington, D.C. (November 12, 2025) – With Congress voting to reopen the government, the Federation of American Hospitals (FAH) released the following statement calling for Congress to immediately work on a bipartisan basis to lower costs for families and extend the health care tax credits before they expire at the end of the year. 

“No more posturing, no more politics – it is time for pragmatic lawmakers to come together, focus on lowering costs for their constituents, and extend the health care tax credits.

“A bipartisan extension of the tax credits is the only mechanism to immediately cut costs for hardworking families already struggling to make ends meet. The solution to this cost-of-living crisis is simple and urgent: Congress must extend the tax credits now.” – Charlene MacDonald, Executive Vice President, Public Affairs, FAH
