Recent federal budget measures from the Trump administration have introduced major plans to reduce federal Medicaid funding and overhaul the program. One example, the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” enacted in 2025, is forecast to decrease federal Medicaid expenditure by more than $1 trillion over 10 years. The law brings new policies such as work requirements and increased cost-sharing likely to impact beneficiary coverage and funding. These shifts are expected to push additional costs onto states and restrain federal Medicaid growth, while the program continues to support tens of millions across the country.
