Working Families Tax Cut Marks One Year with Rural Health and Agricultural Investments
The Working Families Tax Cut reached its one-year anniversary today, highlighting a series of investments for rural communities and the agricultural sector. The legislation established a $50 billion Rural Health Transformation Fund to improve medical access and increased 2026 Medicare payments to physicians. These healthcare initiatives also include expanding zero-deductible telehealth services and protecting rural nursing homes from new staffing mandates. For the farming industry, the law raised the death tax exemption to protect family-owned operations from double taxation. It also introduced a four-year capital gains tax deferral for farmland sales to help a new generation of farmers. Over the past year, the USDA has used these tools to improve risk management and reduce burdens for producers across the American heartland.
