Federal budget acts passed under the Trump administration have contained major proposals to trim federal Medicaid funding and revise the program’s structure. The “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” signed into law in 2025, is projected to reduce federal Medicaid spending by over $1 trillion over the next decade and introduces changes such as work requirements and more cost-sharing, which could reduce both coverage levels and funding for some recipients. These adjustments are expected to shift additional costs to individual states and limit future federal Medicaid growth, even as the program remains critical to tens of millions of Americans.
