Federal budget legislation enacted during the Trump administration included major measures aimed at reducing federal Medicaid support and restructuring the program. The “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” enacted in 2025, is expected to reduce federal Medicaid spending by more than $1 trillion over the next 10 years and add policies such as work requirements and greater cost-sharing, which could diminish funding and coverage for some beneficiaries. The legislation is likely to transfer more financial responsibility to states and limit federal Medicaid growth, even as the program continues to serve millions of Americans.
