Federal budget legislation enacted during the Trump administration brought forward major proposals to reduce federal Medicaid funding and alter the program. For instance, the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” signed in 2025, is expected to cut more than $1 trillion from federal Medicaid spending over 10 years and includes provisions for work requirements and increased cost-sharing, which could decrease coverage and funding for some participants. These adjustments are projected to shift more costs to the states and slow the pace of federal support to Medicaid, even as the program continues to serve tens of millions of Americans.
