Trump administration-era federal budget measures introduced major plans to shrink federal Medicaid funding and adjust the program. The “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” enacted in 2025, is expected to reduce federal Medicaid outlays by over $1 trillion over 10 years and brings in new requirements, such as work rules and higher cost payments by beneficiaries. These changes are set to pass additional costs to states and slow the growth of federal support for Medicaid, even as it continues to cover millions of Americans.
