About The Episode:
On this episode, Marc discusses the one big beautiful bill passing. Listen in to learn about how it happened and the impact of healthcare reductions.
Key Takeaways:
The one big beautiful budget reconciliation bill passed on tight votes in each chamber of Congress.
Trump and GOP leaders are given a great deal of credit for getting the controversial bill through and satisfying both moderates and conservatives in the caucus.
The GOP tried to be very stealthy in terms of cuts, but major impacts will occur.
Cuts are wide-ranging in Medicaid, the Exchanges, and even Medicare.
Most notable are cuts to state provider taxes funding Medicaid, new Medicaid nationwide work requirements, and tighter eligibility in Medicaid and the Exchanges.
About $1.1 trillion is cut over ten years in healthcare and almost 17 million could lose coverage when you count the expiration of the enhanced Exchange subsidies.
The reductions are certain to destabilize the financial recovery of the health insurance industry.
