Recent federal budget acts under the Trump administration included significant measures to trim federal Medicaid outlays and adjust the program’s structure. For example, the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” which became law in 2025, is estimated to reduce federal Medicaid funding by more than $1 trillion over 10 years and incorporates elements like work requirements and higher cost-sharing that could lower coverage and state funding options for some participants. These adjustments are likely to increase state-level funding responsibility and restrain federal Medicaid spending growth even as program demand remains high for millions of Americans.
