Recent national budget measures from the Trump administration have included major proposals to shrink federal Medicaid funding and alter its structure. The “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” enacted in 2025, is expected to reduce federal Medicaid expenditures by more than $1 trillion over the next ten years and establishes provisions such as work requirements and additional cost-sharing, potentially narrowing both provider funding and coverage for certain enrollees. These changes may shift greater financial responsibility to states and are expected to place constraints on future federal Medicaid growth, even as millions remain covered by the program.
