Recent federal budget actions under the Trump administration featured proposals aiming to reduce federal Medicaid outlays and revise the structure of the program. The “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” signed into law in 2025, is expected to trim more than $1 trillion in federal Medicaid spending over 10 years and implements new requirements like work mandates and higher cost-sharing, which may reduce both coverage and funding for certain groups. These modifications are expected to shift more expenses to states and curb the pace of federal Medicaid funding increases, even as the program maintains coverage for millions nationwide.
