From big picture to local story: Reporting on the impact of the megabill

The 2026 budget act signed into law on July 4 will impact the health of millions of Americans — especially those on Medicaid and other safety net programs including SNAP. How can journalists wrap their arms around these massive changes? Panelists will highlight what aspects journalists should pay close attention to right now and how to use the power of storytelling to make the coming changes real for audiences.

Presented by the Association of Health Care Journalists.
