Recent budget legislation under the Trump administration proposed considerable reductions in federal Medicaid funding and various program changes. The “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” signed into law in 2025, is set to cut more than $1 trillion in federal Medicaid expenditures over a decade and introduce new requirements such as work mandates and increased cost-sharing, potentially reducing coverage or funding for certain users. These shifts are expected to increase state financial responsibility and slow the pace of federal Medicaid growth, even as the program remains a major support for tens of millions of Americans.
