NFIB works to affect positive change on behalf of our members. Read about some of the recent victories by our Legal Center, Government Relations, and Political teams.
Policy Victories
Healthcare
Supported the flexible health insurance arrangement – Individual Coverage Health Reimbursement Arrangements (ICHRAs) – to allow small businesses to reimburse individual market health insurance premiums and healthcare expenses for employees.
Repealed the financial penalty stemming from failure to meet the Affordable Care Act’s (Obamacare’s) individual mandate requirement.
Expanded the maximum length of short-term limited duration insurance (STLDI) plans from three to 12 months, and potentially up to 36 months with renewals. This is another positive step for small business owners seeking more affordable, flexible, and predictable options for themselves and their employees.
Repealed the small business health insurance tax (HIT), resulting in a $500 per family reduction in health insurance premiums.
Repealed the medical device tax.
Repealed the Cadillac tax on employer-sponsored health insurance.

Legal Victories
- Legal Center has been called one of the top-ten most influential groups to file briefs in the U.S. Supreme Court by the SCOTUS blog.
- In NFIB v. OSHA, the U.S. Supreme Court issued stay of OSHA’s vaccine mandate, and OSHA withdrew the vaccine mandate following a successful challenge by NFIB.
- A federal court agreed with NFIB’s arguments and permanently enjoined the U.S. Treasury from enforcing the American Rescue Plan Act’s prohibition against states using ARPA funds to lower to taxes.
- In Sackett v. EPA, the Supreme Court agreed with NFIB’s brief that the federal government must follow a new limited test for determining when land contains a “water of the United States” (WOTUS). This decision means fewer construction projects will need expensive federal permits.
- In Glacier NW v. Teamsters, the Supreme Court ruled that a business could sue a union for damages after the striking employees walked out and left concrete running in trucks. NFIB filed a brief in the case arguing that striking workers cannot intentionally damage property without consequence.
