In this episode of The Sunlight Tax Podcast, I'm unpacking the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) and what its sweeping health care changes mean for real people and families. We'll dig into how this new legislation affects Medicaid coverage, Planned Parenthood funding, and low-income immigrants, plus what's changing for marketplace insurance subsidies and health savings accounts (HSAs).

I'll also share key insights from an excellent healthinsurance.org article by Louise Norris, titled "One Big Beautiful Bill Act Brings Sweeping Changes to Health Coverage." With her permission, I'll be reading excerpts from that piece and you can find the full article linked in the show notes. It's a must-read if you want a deeper understanding of how the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) could reshape American health care and insurance coverage in the years ahead.
