Recent federal budget measures in the Trump administration have included substantial proposals to scale back federal Medicaid funding and make structural changes. For example, the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” enacted in 2025, is expected to reduce federal Medicaid spending by over $1 trillion over the coming decade and introduces policies such as work requirements and greater cost-sharing, potentially limiting coverage for some enrollees. These efforts are forecasted to shift additional costs to states and slow the growth of federal Medicaid aid, even as the program continues to support tens of millions across the country.
