Recent federal budget measures during the Trump administration have contained significant proposals aiming to decrease federal Medicaid funding and adjust the program’s structure. For instance, the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” enacted in 2025, is anticipated to trim more than $1 trillion in federal Medicaid spending over 10 years and establishes changes such as work requirements and higher cost-sharing, which could reduce both coverage and funding for certain groups. These amendments are poised to increase states’ financial responsibilities and restrict federal Medicaid growth, even as the program continues to cover millions across the U.S.
