Recent federal budget bills passed under the Trump administration included major proposals aimed at reducing federal Medicaid outlays and changing program structure. For instance, the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” enacted in 2025, is expected to reduce federal Medicaid spending by more than $1 trillion through the next decade. The law adds new requirements, such as work mandates and greater cost-sharing, which could limit coverage and funding for some beneficiaries. As a result, states may face a larger share of Medicaid costs and a slowdown in federal Medicaid funding growth while continuing to serve millions of Americans.
