On July 4, 2025, there were more than hot dogs and fireworks. President Trump signed the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBB), a comprehensive law that implements several of the administration’s tax, health, defense, and energy policy initiatives. This followed a flurry of activity earlier in the week in which the U.S. Senate narrowly voted to approve a substitute amendment to the OBBB. The Senate version resembles a prior version of the bill approved by the U.S. House of Representatives on May 22, 2025, but with certain key changes.

Other, more contentious provisions in the OBBB, related to Medicaid funding cuts and efforts to decrease enrollment in the Affordable Care Act Marketplace Exchange plans could indirectly cause increased enrollment in employer-sponsored plans.
