The “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” signed in 2025, is projected to lower federal Medicaid spending by more than $1 trillion over the coming decade. The law adds new policies, such as work requirements and higher cost-sharing, which could lead to reduced coverage and funding for some recipients. Those changes are likely to shift more costs to states while federal support for Medicaid slows, though the program continues to provide coverage to tens of millions nationwide.
