Recent federal budget measures under the Trump administration have included major proposals to trim federal Medicaid outlays and adjust the program’s structure. The “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” enacted in 2025, is expected to reduce federal Medicaid spending by more than $1 trillion over 10 years and adds elements like work requirements and greater cost-sharing, which could reduce coverage and federal funding for certain beneficiaries. These changes are projected to push more financial responsibility to states and tighten growth of federal Medicaid support, even as the program continues to provide for tens of millions of Americans.
