In this episode of The Heart of Healthcare Podcast, our Managing Director Joe Mercer sits down with Steve Kraus to unpack the details of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. It’s the most significant healthcare legislation since the ACA, with ripple effects across Medicaid, rural hospitals, and the ACA exchange.

We cover:

– What Medicaid work requirements could mean for coverage and churn

– Why safety-net and rural hospitals are bracing for impact

– How changes to provider taxes and state-directed payments shift funding dynamics

– What happens when ACA subsidies start to expire

– Where there may be operational opportunities for coverage tech and patient engagement solutions
