The passage of the “One Big Bill” (H.R.1) marks a pivotal moment for Medicaid and for the millions of patients and providers who rely on it. With nearly $1 trillion in projected cuts and significant coverage losses anticipated, the implications for the U.S. health system are profound. This session brings together leading voices in policy, research, and journalism to explore:

• The biggest concerns emerging from patients, providers, and health systems
• What decades of Medicaid expansion research can tell us about what comes next
• How procedural and administrative challenges may drive coverage losses
• Key trends and stories to watch as implementation approaches
