Recent Legislation
Current report
On July 4, 2025, Congress passed the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (the “OBBBA”), which introduced significant changes to federally funded healthcare programs, including Medicaid, Medicare, and the Affordable Care Act. While such changes are projected to reduce overall healthcare spending and increase regulatory burdens in certain jurisdictions in which the Company operates, they are not expected to materially impact the Company's financial statements.
Current report
The OBBBA also makes permanent key elements of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act including, among others, 100% bonus depreciation and the business interest expense limitations. The Company is currently assessing the implications of these tax law changes. Since the OBBBA Act was enacted subsequent to the balance sheet date, the Company’s tax provision for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, does not incorporate the effects of these tax law changes.
Current report
