Recent federal budgets under the Trump administration included proposals to decrease federal Medicaid resources and overhaul program design. Notably, the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” enacted in 2025, is expected to reduce federal Medicaid spending by over $1 trillion in the coming decade. The law introduces measures such as work requirements and higher cost sharing, which could affect levels of coverage and funding for some recipients. Such changes are slated to shift increased costs to states and slow federal Medicaid growth, even as the program continues covering tens of millions.
