Recent federal budget legislation signed during the Trump administration introduced major proposals to lower federal Medicaid funding and alter the program structure. For instance, 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 will bring new policies like work requirements and higher cost-sharing that may lower funding and coverage for some recipients. These measures are set to shift greater funding responsibilities to states while restricting the pace of federal Medicaid growth, even as the program continues serving millions nationwide.
