How will the One Big Beautiful Bill affect Nevada? A closer look at Medicaid and SNAP cuts
President Donald Trump's signature economic package, the One Big Beautiful Bill, is now the law of the land. It extends the Trump tax cuts, ends the tax on tips and boosts border security spending, among other GOP priorities.
But it also makes drastic cuts to social safety net programs, including Medicaid and food assistance.
How will these cuts affect Nevadans? How will our community health centers and food banks be impacted?
This week, host Ben Margiott interviews Mandi Larsen, the chief development officer for Northern Nevada HOPES and Jocelyn Lantrip, the marketing director for the Food Bank of Northern Nevada.
