The OBBBA represents a fundamental shift for states and the broader health care system, requiring strategic yet rapid implementation. Once the OBBBA law is implemented, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) anticipates that 11.8 million individuals will lose health insurance over the next ten years.

Image: Person makes a payment with their phone in a doctor's office. Text: What’s happening? The OBBBA is a spending and tax law, passed through the reconciliation process, that extends the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and increases spending on border security, defense, and energy. To achieve these goals, Congress offset the increased spending with savings, including through a number of health care provisions that would reduce federal spending on Medicaid and the Marketplaces.
