Recent budget measures under the Trump administration proposed major reductions in federal Medicaid funding and program restructuring. For example, the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” signed in 2025, is projected to reduce federal Medicaid expenditures by more than $1 trillion over 10 years. The law introduces provisions like work requirements and higher cost-sharing, which could decrease coverage and funding for some recipients, shifting more financial responsibility to states and curbing federal support as the program continues to serve tens of millions.
