In this radio version of the WNC Health Policy Initiative podcast, we sit down with Katie Alexander and Ali Houghton from Pisgah Legal Services' WNC Health and Economic Opportunity Program to explore the impact of the so-called One Big Beautiful Bill Act on healthcare coverage.

We discuss how this sweeping legislation could reshape healthcare access across Western North Carolina, especially for Medicaid recipients, folks using tax credits on their marketplace insurance, documented immigrant communities, and folks with disabilities. Tune in for insights into what this means for healthcare access, and the future of health policy in our region and check out our soon-to-be-released 'full version' in the next few days.
