Recent federal budget legislation under the Trump administration included major proposals to trim federal Medicaid funding and alter the program’s structure. For example, the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” enacted in 2025, is estimated to reduce federal Medicaid spending by over $1 trillion over the next decade. It also brings in policies such as work requirements and more cost-sharing, potentially reducing coverage and funding for some recipients. These changes are expected to shift more Medicaid funding responsibilities to states and limit the federal government’s contribution, even as the program continues to serve tens of millions of people nationwide.
