In this full-length version of the WNC Health Policy Initiative podcast, we sit down with Katie Alexander and Ali Houghton from Pisgah Legal Services to explore the impact of the so-called One Big Beautiful Bill Act on healthcare coverage. We discuss the services provided by Pisgah Legal, how this sweeping legislation could reshape healthcare access across Western North Carolina, including for:
Medicaid recipients
Residents using tax credits on their marketplace insurance
Documented immigrant communities such as individuals with work permits, DACA, asylees, and refugees, &
Residents with disabilities
Tune in for insights into what this means for healthcare access in WNC and opportunities for guidance and volunteering to engage in the topic.
