Language in recent federal budget laws signed during the Trump administration calls for major federal Medicaid funding reductions and reorganization. For instance, the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” enacted in 2025, is expected to lower federal Medicaid spending by more than $1 trillion over 10 years and implement requirements such as work mandates and higher cost-sharing, potentially reducing coverage and financial support for some Medicaid enrollees. These changes are anticipated to increase the cost burden on states while constraining the growth in federal support for the program, even as Medicaid continues to provide coverage for tens of millions of Americans.
