The good news is that none of the changes to the Affordable Care Act, Medicaid, or other health-insurance-related tax items in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OB3A) were retroactive to the beginning of 2025. The bad news is that the first set of changes is coming in 2026. The worse news is that some changes that were not included in the final version of OB3A are included in a new Federal Rule – but the provisions of the Federal Rule are only temporary. Basically, what we have is some federal rulemaking that was designed to give Congress time to codify the rule’s provisions into law, but only some of the provisions were codified – which simply means the provisions are merely temporary, not invalid. This article is going to discuss some of the important provisions concerning healthcare coverage that are included in OB3A, one that didn’t make it into the law, but that is in the new Federal Rule, and two that kind of blew up on social media but aren’t in OB3A or in the new rule.

The One Big Beautiful Bill Act makes good on several promises President Trump made on the campaign trail. Of course, tax legislation, unlike campaign sloganeering, rarely lends itself to sound bites. It is the opposite of pithy and the opposite of memorable. Even the bill’s title pushes the boundaries of memorability. If you’re looking for the tax promises section of the OBBBA it is in Title VII–Finance, Subtitle A–Tax, Chapter 2–Delivering on Presidential Priorities To Provide New Middle-Class Tax Relief. We take a closer look in this article.
