OGR’s Big Picture: What You Missed This Week

Information provided to members by OGR

The reconciliation clock is ticking on Capitol Hill, and this week may shape the trajectory of tax, healthcare, and trade policy for the rest of the year. From renewed debates over Medicaid cuts to new developments on U.S.-China tariffs, members of the Innovative Payments Association are getting timely, actionable insights to help them navigate the rapidly shifting policy landscape.

In this week’s OGR’s Big Picture, available exclusively to IPA members, we dive into:

• Key developments in the House’s reconciliation process—and what’s holding it up
• Chairman Smith’s preliminary tax package and what’s still missing
• The latest on debt limit pressure and its timeline
• A sweeping executive order on drug pricing—and its implications for Medicare
• What President Trump’s new China trade deal and upcoming Middle East trip signal for global economic policy
  
  

Plus, “Tuck’s Tax Take” breaks down what’s included (and what’s not) in the initial tax framework—and what it could mean for the payments space.
