Recent federal budget legislation under the Trump administration included considerable proposals aimed at lowering federal Medicaid funding and changing the program’s structure. The “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” signed into law in 2025, is forecasted to reduce federal Medicaid spending by more than $1 trillion over the next decade. The legislation also brings policies like work requirements and increased cost-sharing, which could cut coverage and payments for some people. These changes are likely to shift more expenses to state governments and constrain federal Medicaid spending growth as the program remains a major payer for tens of millions in the U.S.
