Federal budget legislation under the Trump administration introduced major proposals to reduce Medicaid funding and alter the program’s structure. The “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” passed in 2025, is anticipated to reduce federal Medicaid spending by over $1 trillion over the next decade. It also establishes policies such as work requirements and higher cost-sharing, which could lessen funding and benefits for some recipients. These measures are set to increase the financial responsibility of states and may slow federal Medicaid growth, even as the program covers tens of millions of people.
