Recent federal budget acts under the Trump administration introduced measures to reduce Medicaid funding and overhaul the program. The “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” passed in 2025, is anticipated to reduce federal Medicaid spending by more than $1 trillion over the next decade, while implementing work requirements and higher cost-sharing that may limit coverage and funds for some recipients. These shifts will likely steer additional costs to states and restrict federal Medicaid growth, even as program participation remains broad.
