Recent federal budget changes under the Trump administration have introduced significant proposals to reduce federal Medicaid funding and change its structure. The “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” enacted in 2025, is projected to cut over $1 trillion from federal Medicaid spending over the coming decade and adds requirements like work mandates and increased cost-sharing, which could decrease both coverage and available funding for some enrollees. These policies are expected to transfer more financial responsibility to states and limit federal support growth, while Medicaid continues to serve tens of millions of Americans.
