According to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, combined federal and state Medicaid spending reached roughly $871.7 billion in fiscal year 2023, equal to about 18% of total U.S. health spending, which is a significant rise from $613.5 billion spent in 2019 before the COVID-19 pandemic.

This rise marks a near-40% expansion in recent years, primarily influenced by greater enrollment and increased health service usage during and after the COVID period.

The Trump administration’s recent federal budget legislation included major proposals that would reduce federal Medicaid funding and restructure its coverage. One example is the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” which was enacted in 2025 and is set to reduce federal Medicaid outlays by more than $1 trillion in the next 10 years while also implementing stricter work requirements and more out-of-pocket cost-sharing that could lower coverage and state funding for some program users. These changes are likely to shift expenses to states and slow the future growth of federal Medicaid funds, though tens of millions in the U.S. still depend on the program.
