Congressional GOP leaders have informed their members that they’ve reached a funding deal in principle, with staffers now working to finalize hundreds of pages of text. The deal involves nearly $100 billion in disaster aid and an additional $10 billion in banking relief for farmers in rural communities.
Additionally, the agreement includes a one-year extension of the farm bill, a provision benefiting biofuels, and two major health measures. One of the health measures extends telehealth flexibilities, while the other targets pharmacy benefit managers.
