Research published in JAMA Health Forum projects 13-14 excess deaths and over 800 preventable hospitalizations annually per 100,000 people losing Medicaid coverage
SAN FRANCISCO, CA / ACCESS Newswire / July 16, 2025 / Waymark, a public benefit company dedicated to improving access and quality of care in Medicaid, today published peer-reviewed research in JAMA Health Forum examining the projected health system and economic impacts of 2025 Medicaid policy changes. The study, conducted in collaboration with researchers at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, reveals that H.R. 1, the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” recently passed by Congress, could result in devastating consequences for vulnerable populations, rural communities, and local economies nationwide.
Numerous studies from multiple organizations, including the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO), estimate that Medicaid changes including eligibility restrictions, work requirements, and reduced federal matching rates would result in between 7.6 million and 14.4 million Americans becoming uninsured by 2034. Unlike previous analyses focused on enrollment projections, this study quantifies how changes in federal spending and coverage could impact population-level health outcomes and create economic ripple effects for communities across the country – particularly in rural areas already struggling with healthcare access.
Key findings:
The study projects that for every 100,000 people who lose Medicaid coverage, communities can expect substantial consequences for health outcomes and economic stability:
Health and Economic Impacts (Per 100,000 People Losing Coverage):
13-14 excess deaths annually
810-924 preventable hospitalizations annually
~2,582 jobs lost annually
~$1.2 billion in reduced economic output annually
Healthcare System Impacts (National Scale):
Rural hospitals face heightened risk of closure, with impact disproportionate to coverage losses due to the high concentration of patients on Medicaid in rural areas
Federally qualified health centers (FQHCs) experience revenue reductions of 18.7-26.1% depending on coverage loss magnitude and the degree to which patients losing Medicaid would be able to gain other forms of insurance (e.g., Exchange plans)
The study analyzed both base case and higher coverage loss scenarios, with per-capita health and economic consequences remaining consistent across both scenarios. These projected ratios can be applied regardless of the final number of people affected by the policy changes, as uncertainty remains regarding the scale of coverage losses due to administrative burdens of renewal and work requirement verification processes. The study is based on a comprehensive microsimulation model incorporating empirically derived parameters from peer-reviewed literature on health outcomes, healthcare systems, and local economies.
“This analysis demonstrates that Medicaid policy changes in H.R. 1 could have far-reaching consequences extending well beyond federal budget considerations,” said Dr. Sanjay Basu MD PhD, lead author of the study and Co-Founder and Head of Clinical for Waymark. “The data shows that rural and underserved communities would bear a disproportionate burden of these policy changes, with implications for people’s lives and livelihoods that state and local policymakers must carefully consider.”
With H.R. 1 now signed into law, these findings provide critical insights into what communities can expect as the legislation’s provisions take effect. The law includes 80-hour monthly work requirements for able-bodied adults, enhanced eligibility verification every six months, and reduced federal matching rates for expansion populations – representing the most significant restructuring of Medicaid since the program’s creation.
“Medicaid affects many different aspects of people’s lives,” said Dr. Seth A. Berkowitz MD MPH, co-author of the study and Associate Professor of Medicine at the University of North Carolina School of Medicine. “When Medicaid gets cut, there are of course health impacts to the people who lose coverage. But there are also important impacts to the broader community, and policymakers need to consider those impacts as well.”
Recognizing the importance of tracking implementation impacts, the research team has made their microsimulation model open source to enable updated estimates as implementation details are finalized. This approach ensures that policymakers and stakeholders have access to the most current projections as states develop their implementation plans.
“This research demonstrates the critical importance of understanding the full consequences of proposed Medicaid changes beyond federal budget numbers,” said Dr. Sadiq Y. Patel MSW PhD, an author for the study and VP of Data Science and Artificial Intelligence for Waymark. “Our model reveals that coverage losses would cascade through communities in ways that profoundly impact public health, healthcare delivery systems, and local economies. These findings should inform policymakers about the real-world trade-offs inherent in these policy decisions.”
The research letter titled “Projected Health System and Economic Impacts of 2025 Medicaid Policy Proposals” was published in JAMA Health Forum. The study was conducted by Dr. Sanjay Basu (Waymark, University of California San Francisco), Dr. Sadiq Y. Patel (Waymark, University of Pennsylvania), and Dr. Seth A. Berkowitz (University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill).

TAMPA, FL / ACCESS Newswire / July 16, 2025 / As temperatures rise across the Sunshine State, it might be tempting to stay inside and crank the air conditioning. But getting out into Florida’s wild spaces can help you stay cool while connecting with the beauty and power of nature!
Devils Millhopper Geological State Park – Credit Sara Sheehy Live Wildly
Live Wildly, a nonprofit inspiring people to experience and protect Florida’s natural landscapes, is reminding Floridians that forests and freshwater springs offer their own natural air conditioning, with forests keeping temperatures as much as 13 degrees cooler than surrounding areas. And the state’s numerous natural springs provide refreshing escapes in clear waters that stay a cool 68-72 degrees year-round.
“Protecting Florida’s forests and other natural areas can help all of us stay cooler as temperatures rise,” said Lisa Shipley, CEO of the nonprofit Live Wildly. “Walking beneath shaded forest canopies, tubing down rivers, or taking a plunge into natural spring waters is a great way to beat the heat – and it’s a lot more fun than sitting inside staring at a screen!”
Whether you’re looking for a refreshing swim or a breezy trail to explore, here are Live Wild’s top five outdoor places to stay cool this summer:
Wekiwa Springs State Park: With crystal clear waters that stay a refreshing 72-degrees year-round, Wekiwa Springs is the perfect place to snorkel, swim, or just dangle your feet in crisp spring waters. Living up to its name – “wekiwa” comes from the Creek word meaning “bubbling water” – the park offers visitors natural swimming pools and the opportunity to float above a bubbling aquifer. Kayak rentals are available on-site to paddle the Wekiwa River. Located a quick 25-minute drive from Orlando, it’s the perfect place to explore nature while beating the heat. Reservations are required for entry, so make sure to plan ahead.
Devil’s Millhopper Geological State Park: Despite its devilish name, this Gainesville park provides visitors a lush and unexpected oasis. You’ll feel the temperature drop as you descend a staired-boardwalk into a 120-foot sinkhole. Small waterfalls and streams tumble down the steep limestone walls where thick vegetation thrives even in the driest of summers. Once at the bottom, enjoy the cool shade of a miniature rainforest. You might even spot shark teeth and other fossils embedded in the walls, revealing the ancient history of this geological wonder.
Delnor-Wiggins Pass State Park: This Gulf Coast beach, located along a barrier island near Naples, is considered one of the most pristine stretches of beach in the world. Enjoy cool ocean breezes while you swim, search for shells, or spot dolphins, manatees, and sea turtles swimming offshore. Bring your own kayak, canoe, or paddleboard to explore Water Turkey Bay. A hard-bottom reef located off the shoreline offers fun snorkeling and scuba diving opportunities.
Blackwater River State Park: Located in the panhandle, the park offers numerous ways to cool off along the meandering Blackwater River. You can fish along the river’s sandy banks or from the park’s numerous oxbow lakes. Rent kayaks, canoes, and tubes to float down the river’s shallow waters and pass over deep swimming holes. For those who prefer to stay dry, there are trails for hiking and biking in the shade of towering longleaf pines.
Guana Tolomato Matanzas National Estuarine Research Reserve: Enjoy the cool breezes and shady maritime forests of this sprawling research reserve while learning how estuaries benefit our daily lives (among other things, they filter our water, reduce flooding, and serve as nurseries for fish, crabs and shrimp). Visitors can paddle the serene waters of Guana Lake, the Guana River, and the Tolomato River, or hike trails while looking for some of the 200 bird species that have been recorded here. The reserve also offers guided tours during which you can learn about the human and natural history of this coastal habitat located just 20 minutes north of St. Augustine.
Live Wildly believes that the more people connect with nature, the more they’ll want to protect it. That’s why the organization is committed to preserving wild places, sharing their stories and empowering Floridians to be part of conservation solutions.
“These aren’t just beautiful places to visit,” said Shipley. “They’re vital ecosystems-and the heart of our State’s economic prosperity.

Company Doubles Missouri R&D Facility, Launches Heat Pump Testing, and Readies Fall Rollout of SOLIS™ & COR™ Mobile Nano-Grid System
WEST SENECA, NY / ACCESS Newswire / July 16, 2025 / Worksport Ltd. (NASDAQ:WKSP) (“Worksport” or the “Company”), a U.S. based manufacturer and innovator of hybrid and clean energy solutions for the light truck, overlanding, and global consumer goods sectors, today announced major corporate developments across research, manufacturing, and commercialization-signaling aggressive growth following a record-setting Q2.
Expanding U.S. R&D and Preparing for Manufacturing Scalability
After delivering Q2 2025 top-line results of $4.1M, up 83% from the previous quarter, Worksport shares that it has recently moved into new research and development (“R&D”) facilities in Ozark, Missouri, doubling its R&D footprint to facilitate larger R&D initiatives, paired with a large pipeline of upcoming and planned launches of innovative products and features. This expansion underscores the Company’s commitment to product innovation and expanding its customer reach through future-facing technology platforms. Missouri was selected due to its central geography, skilled labor force, and growing prominence as a U.S. manufacturing hub.
With production up over 50% since March 2025, the Company is also evaluating new factory capacity to meet surging demand. A decision on expansion is expected by the end of Q3. The Company shares that demand remains ahead of output.
COR and SOLIS Moving Toward Commercial Launch
Worksport’s highly anticipated SOLIS solar-integrated tonneau cover and COR portable nano-grid system remain on track for a Fall 2025 launch. Both products have completed major validation milestones, including third-party testing and customer-paid beta deployments. Management believes this clean-tech vertical-targeting a $13B addressable market-represents a transformational revenue stream and an expansion beyond the Company’s core truck accessory business.
The Company projects $2-3 million in revenue from SOLIS and COR in 2025, with 2026 expected to see 8-figure growth potential as sales expand across both business to consumer (B2C) and strategic enterprise channels.
AetherLux™ Gains Additional Enterprise Attention
Terravis Energy, Worksport’s clean-tech subsidiary, has entered early-stage commercial testing of its AetherLux™ Pro heat pump with high-performance Zerofrost technology, addressing the $148B global heat pump market. The technology is drawing interest from multi-billion-dollar corporations and U.S. government entities, with site visits and due diligence already underway.
Management believes AetherLux could play a major role in Worksport’s 2026 balance sheet, as the Company continues to validate its performance in extreme climate conditions and scale its manufacturing pathways.
Worksport Ltd. (Nasdaq:WKSP), through its subsidiaries, designs, develops, manufactures, and owns the intellectual property on a variety of tonneau covers, solar integrations, portable power systems, and clean heating & cooling solutions. Worksport has an active partnership with Hyundai for the SOLIS Solar cover. Additionally, Worksport’s hard-folding cover, designed and manufactured in-house, is compatible with all major truck models and is gaining traction with newer truck makers including the electric vehicle (EV) sector. Worksport seeks to capitalize on the growing shift of consumer mindsets towards clean energy integrations with its proprietary solar solutions, mobile energy storage systems (ESS), and Cold-Climate Heat Pump (CCHP) technology.

Capitalize Albany’s New RFP Advances Long-Awaited Development at Liberty Park
ALBANY, NY / ACCESS Newswire / July 16, 2025 / Capitalize Albany Corporation has issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) inviting qualified real estate developers to acquire and revitalize Liberty Park, a prominent 8-acre site in the heart of downtown Albany. This unique site, long regarded as one of the Capital Region’s most significant redevelopment opportunities, is now fully assembled, owned by Capitalize Albany and primed for transformative investment.
Liberty Park Redevelopment Area – Albany, N.Y. The Liberty Park site encompasses 8 acres in downtown Albany, New York. It contains 54 parcels which include three key historic structures.
Liberty Park’s redevelopment comes at a critical time, coinciding with record momentum in downtown Albany. Over the past decade, the implementation of Capitalize Albany’s Impact Downtown Albany strategic plan has catalyzed over $385 million in new investment, resulting in the creation of more than 1,000 new multifamily residential units and major public infrastructure projects such as the Albany Skyway and Clinton Market Collective.
This opportunity is further bolstered by Governor Kathy Hochul’s more than $400 million Downtown Albany Championing Albany’s Potential (CAP) Initiative, which includes $200 million in targeted investment within a one-mile radius of the Capitol. Liberty Park is uniquely positioned to align with and benefit from this unprecedented state-level investment, located steps from some of the biggest attractions in the city including the New York State Capitol, Empire State Plaza, The Egg performance venue, New York State Museum and MVP Arena. This historic downtown location offers great access to all parts of New York’s capital city and is only minutes from major R&D assets, in an area with a regional population of more than 1.1 million and a labor force of more than 550,000.
“The release of this RFP marks a milestone moment for Liberty Park and for downtown Albany,” said Capitalize Albany Corporation president Ashley Mohl. “We’re aiming to generate strong interest and receive proposals that will unlock the full potential of this site. Marketing the site, identifying development opportunities, and evaluating proposals are the next major steps toward realizing this vision.”
The RFP is being actively marketed in partnership with CBRE Upstate-NY, which is leveraging its national and global reach to attract potential development partners. Proposals are due by 3:00 p.m. ET on August 26, 2025, and full RFP materials, including drone footage and site information, are available at www.libertyparkredevelopment.com.
Backed by robust public-sector collaboration, the Liberty Park development opportunity builds on more than seven years of strategic site assemblage led by Capitalize Albany. Key partners include Empire State Development, the Albany Convention Center Authority, the City of Albany Industrial Development Agency and Capitalize Albany’s Board of Directors.
The Liberty Park site encompasses approximately 8 acres, generally bounded by Broadway to the east, Hudson Avenue to the north, Liberty and Pruyn Streets to the south, and Green Street to the west. It contains 54 parcels which include four key structures, among them the former Trailways bus station and the Greyhound Bus Terminal, which was acquired by Capitalize Albany in October 2024. Discussions are ongoing to support the relocation of regional transit operations.
Continuing to deliver vital support to the British Army
SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA / ACCESS Newswire / July 16, 2025 / Cubic Defence UK announces it has been awarded a two-year, sole-source contract by the UK Ministry of Defence (UK MOD) for the delivery of the Instrumented Live Training – Area Weapons Effects System (ILT-A).
“Cubic is honored to continue our long-standing partnership with the UK MOD,” said Alicia Combs, Vice President and General Manager at Cubic Defense. “This award reflects the trust placed in our systems to prepare warfighters for the complexities of modern combat. With ILT-A, we are proud to deliver a high-fidelity, globally interoperable solution that supports the British Army’s evolving training needs.”
ILT-A provides our soldiers with a realistic, data-rich training environment that enhances both competence and lethality,” said Simon Pearce, Synthetic Environments & Training, Defence Equipment and Support, UK Ministry of Defence. “The integration of Cubic’s Instrumented Metricized Live Fire capability and RPAS reflects the evolving character of combat and ensures the British Army can train with agility and precision.”

The ILT-A contract builds on Cubic’s two-decade legacy of integrated training solutions for the UK MOD and supersedes the previous Area Weapons Effects Simulation (AWES) contract. The system combines advanced laser and area-effects technology with fully instrumented live-fire range systems and Remotely Piloted Air Systems (RPAS), creating a digitized environment featuring multi-spectrum, multi-domain threats. It also integrates with Cubic’s SCOPIC2 Virtual-in-Live synthetic environment to enable comprehensive force training and supports interoperability with partner nations. Data generated during training is used to inform the After Action Review process.
The contract includes options to support the UK MOD and global allies with individual and collective training across multiple domains and training areas, from Section to Brigade level. It also features a life-extension program through the end of the decade and investment in experimentation to support UK MOD’s Force Development initiatives.
