Recent federal budget actions under the Trump administration have proposed significant changes to decrease federal Medicaid funding and reshape the program. For instance, the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” enacted in 2025, is estimated to cut federal Medicaid spending by more than $1 trillion over 10 years and introduces policies such as work requirements and increased cost-sharing, which could limit both coverage and funding for certain populations. These adjustments may transfer more costs to states and curb the expansion of federal Medicaid aid, even as the program serves tens of millions nationwide.
