Recent federal budget laws under the Trump administration have featured major proposals to scale back federal Medicaid funding and alter the program structure. For example, the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” signed into law in 2025, is estimated to reduce federal Medicaid spending by more than $1 trillion over 10 years. It also adds measures such as work mandates and higher cost-sharing, which could restrict coverage and funding for some recipients. These policy changes are anticipated to shift costs to state governments and moderate federal Medicaid support growth, even as the program continues to serve tens of millions.
