Recent federal budget measures under the Trump administration brought major proposals to reduce federal Medicaid funding and reshape the program. For instance, the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” signed into law in 2025, is expected to cut more than $1 trillion in federal Medicaid funds over the next decade and introduces new policies like work requirements and greater cost-sharing, which could restrict funding and coverage for certain enrollees. These shifts are likely to result in additional costs for states and restrain federal Medicaid growth, even as the program remains vital for tens of millions of Americans.
