Recent federal budget measures under the Trump administration have brought significant changes, including efforts to reduce federal Medicaid funding and overhaul program rules. The “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” made law in 2025, is predicted to lower federal Medicaid spending by more than $1 trillion over a decade and introduce elements such as work requirements and greater cost-sharing. These actions are expected to trim coverage or funding for some recipients, push more financial responsibility onto states, and limit federal Medicaid expansion—even as tens of millions continue to rely on the program.
