A provision tucked inside President Trump’s so-called “big, beautiful bill” will make it harder for thousands of aspiring doctors to finance their education as the country faces a growing shortage in that profession.

San Francisco Bay Area communities are beginning to see how President Trump's recently passed "Big Beautiful Bill" will impact health care and food assistance programs.

The mega-bill signed by Trump aims to extend tax cuts and increase defense spending, but it risks raising the US deficit by $3.3 trillion. While it benefits manufacturing and defense, cuts to Medicaid and green energy may harm low-income populations and long-term fiscal stability.
