The “Big Beautiful Bill”: What it means for health care
Aug 27 @ 1:00 pm – 2:00 pm

The Bipartisan Policy Center will explore what changes the law makes to both Medicaid and Medicare, such as new tweaks for eligibility requirements and enrollment procedures along with a temporary boost to Medicare provider reimbursements.

We’ll also look at the funding the law allocates toward healthcare in rural communities and changes to qualification requirements for food stamps.

Come armed with questions about what the new law means for two of the country’s major entitlement programs and other health issues and what sorts of policy changes your audience might want to know about.

This webinar is part four of a series to help journalists enhance their understanding and coverage of the bill’s major themes.
