## Resource

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. Also on deck: new Medicaid work requirements starting in 2027, mandating 80 hours of work or community service monthly for some adults, and a nationwide crackdown on healthcare fraud — with Oz warning that federal and state cooperation is critical to stop fraud from becoming systemic.
