Summary
One year in, the “One Big Beautiful Bill” is still sparking debate — a Trump-era healthcare overhaul targeting rural America’s health disparities. Dr. Mehmet Oz explains how the law aims to bridge the life expectancy gap between rural and urban communities by incentivizing doctors and nurses to serve underserved areas, expanding telehealth with zero deductibles, and boosting Medicare payments to keep clinicians in private practice.
