Recent federal budget bills adopted under the Trump administration have introduced major proposals to scale back federal Medicaid funding and modify the program’s structure. For instance, the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” enacted in 2025, is anticipated to reduce federal Medicaid spending by more than $1 trillion over the next decade, while implementing policies such as work requirements and greater cost-sharing. These changes may lower coverage and funding for some beneficiaries, resulting in higher costs shouldered by states and constraining federal Medicaid expansion, even as the program continues covering tens of millions of Americans.
