Recent federal budget measures enacted during the Trump administration have included major proposals to decrease federal Medicaid funding and alter the program. The “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” which became law in 2025, is expected to reduce federal Medicaid spending by over $1 trillion over the next 10 years and introduces changes like work requirements and higher cost-sharing. These policies could reduce coverage and funding for some recipients, increasing the financial responsibility of states and curbing federal Medicaid growth even as coverage continues for tens of millions of Americans.
