Federal budget legislation during the Trump administration introduced extensive proposals to lower federal Medicaid spending and change the program’s structure. The “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” enacted in 2025, is expected to reduce federal Medicaid funding by more than $1 trillion during the next 10 years. The law adds measures such as work requirements and more cost-sharing, which may decrease coverage and financing for certain beneficiaries. These measures are expected to shift more expenses to states and restrict federal Medicaid support growth, though the program continues to serve tens of millions across the country.
