Insurance coverage in rural areas will likely decline if Congress does not extend enhanced subsidies included in the American Rescue Plan Act.
Researchers determine that if the American Rescue Plan Act premium subsidies are not extended, rural areas and other areas with high insurance premiums will feel significant financial impacts. Extending these benefits means comprehensive coverage will remain affordable for many rural residents.
