Recent federal budget changes under the Trump administration have included major proposals to reduce federal Medicaid contributions and restructure the program. For instance, the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” signed into law in 2025, is expected to cut over $1 trillion from federal Medicaid allocations in the next decade, adding policies such as work requirements and greater cost-sharing that could decrease coverage and funding for certain participants. These reforms are anticipated to pass more financial responsibility to states and constrain the rate of federal Medicaid growth, while the program continues to serve many Americans.
