Recent federal budget measures under the Trump administration have featured plans for substantial reductions in federal Medicaid funding and structural changes to the program. The “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” enacted in 2025, is expected to slash federal Medicaid spending by more than $1 trillion in the next decade, introducing requirements such as work mandates and higher cost-sharing that could reduce coverage and funds for certain recipients. These changes are likely to pass more costs to states and limit federal Medicaid expansion even as the program continues to serve tens of millions nationwide.
