In Case You Missed It

• On September 25, the Administration notified Congress that it will not be spending $810 million of congressionally appropriated funds for Fiscal Year 2026, through a maneuver called a pocket rescission. This rescission proposal includes a $28 million cut for the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality. Members of Congress are pushing back on this maneuver, and the Government Accountability Office sent a letter to Congress reiterating that the use of pocket recissions is unlawful. AACN will continue to monitor this ongoing story.
