Under recent federal budget laws enacted during the Trump administration, substantial efforts have targeted lowering federal Medicaid contributions and reworking the program. For instance, the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” passed in 2025, is expected to reduce federal Medicaid spending by over $1 trillion in the next decade and brings forward provisions such as work mandates and greater beneficiary cost-sharing, which could decrease both Medicaid coverage and funding for some individuals. These policy shifts are projected to transfer more expenses to states and limit future growth of federal Medicaid support, even as the program continues covering tens of millions of Americans.
