- Roughly 5,550 Minnesotans relying on Medicaid face coverage loss this week following the 'One Big, Beautiful Bill Act,' though the Department of Human Services says most can transition to MinnesotaCare.

- Hospital officials warn that uninsured patients delay treatment until conditions worsen, shifting unpaid costs to other patients; Minnesota officials brace for further impacts next year when federal work requirements begin.
