On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill (OBBB) was signed into law—and it's about to change everything for clinicians, patients, and healthcare systems across the country.

In this episode of The PA Is In, host Tracy Bingaman, PA-C and clinician career coach, breaks down the OBBB from a provider's perspective—not as a politician or policy analyst, but as someone living the reality of frontline care.

We’ll unpack:

• What the OBBB is and why it matters

• When major changes roll out (starting Jan 2026!)

• 5 key impacts on clinicians, from Medicaid cuts to Medicare drug price negotiations

• Why rural hospitals and safety-net systems are especially vulnerable

• What you can do—today—to stay informed and advocate for your patients and your profession
  

You deserve to understand the system you’re working in—and how it’s changing around you. Tune in now to get clear, stay equipped, and be part of the conversation.
