Recent federal budget measures implemented during the Trump administration brought proposals to lower federal Medicaid contributions and change the program’s structure. The “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” signed in 2025, is projected to reduce federal Medicaid spending by more than $1 trillion over the next decade and enacts policies such as work mandates and higher cost-sharing, which could decrease funding and lower coverage rates for certain participants. These adjustments may shift a greater financial burden to states and potentially slow the expansion of federal Medicaid aid, even as the program continues serving tens of millions of Americans.
