Recent federal budget actions under the Trump administration introduced major proposals to cut federal Medicaid funding and alter the program’s structure. The “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” signed in 2025, is expected to reduce federal Medicaid funding by over $1 trillion over 10 years, adding measures like work requirements and more cost-sharing that may result in lower coverage and support for some recipients. These policy changes are likely to shift additional costs to state governments and cap the growth of federal Medicaid funding, even as the program continues to assist millions nationwide.
