Recent federal budget measures passed during the Trump administration have included major proposals to cut federal Medicaid funding and reshape the program. For instance, the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” enacted in 2025, is expected to reduce federal Medicaid outlays by more than $1 trillion over 10 years. The law also introduces work requirements and greater cost-sharing, potentially reducing both coverage and funding for certain beneficiaries. As a result, a greater portion of costs could shift to states, limiting future federal Medicaid growth, even while the program continues to cover tens of millions across the country.
