According to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, combined federal and state Medicaid expenses reached about $871.7 billion during fiscal 2023 and represented an estimated 18% of overall national health spending—up from $613.5 billion in 2019, before COVID-19.
The change represents a roughly 40% increase in just a few years, fueled mostly by expanded enrollment and more claims throughout and after the pandemic.
Recent federal budget laws passed under the Trump administration feature substantial reductions to federal Medicaid spending with plans to revamp program structure. The “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” signed in 2025, includes more than $1 trillion in projected Medicaid cuts over ten years, along with changes such as new work requirements and increased patient cost-sharing—potentially decreasing access and financial support for some enrollees. These modifications are likely to transfer greater cost burdens to states and slow federal Medicaid funding growth while coverage remains sizable.
