It’s been six weeks now since President Donald Trump signed the so-called one big, beautiful bill act into law and as you’ve no doubt heard, the new law will soon bring massive funding cuts and policy changes to core safety net programs like Medicaid and SNAP food benefits. Meanwhile, here in North Carolina, state lawmakers have passed a so-called mini-budget that, while vastly smaller in scale and scope, will still have significant impacts on health policy.
So, what do these changes look like? Who will be impacted? What issues remain unresolved? And why are some important players in the health care system deeply concerned? NC Newsline recently got a chance to explore all of these questions and more with the editor and founder of the nonprofit news outlet North Carolina Health News, Rose Hoban.
