Ep. 194: Future-Proofing Your Clinic in a Post–One Big Beautiful Bill Act World

About this Episode

Nick and Michael crack open one of the most controversial healthcare shifts in years, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OB-BBA), and what it could mean for urgent care clinics across the country.

📅 This episode was recorded on July 24, 2025. As with anything in healthcare policy, things may have shifted since then, but the strategies we cover are designed to hold strong no matter what unfolds.

With massive Medicaid changes, potential coverage losses, and growing financial pressure on rural and community-based care, this episode breaks down both sides of the OB-BBA debate — then gets straight to strategy.

Nick and Michael discuss practical moves you can make now to stay ahead, stay profitable, and stay available to the people who need you most. Because while some clinics will wait and hope for the best, the best clinics will adapt, adjust, and keep leading their communities.
