The recently signed “One Big, Beautiful Bill” (OBBB) is already making waves across the country, especially among Medicaid and ACA enrollees. Most headlines have focused on the immediate effects — subsidy rollbacks, work requirements, and funding cuts — but licensed agents need to get above the noise and start looking further ahead.
Key takeaways
-

- Additionally, carrier shifts and benefit redesigns could reshape the products agents can offer for the foreseeable future.
