Federal budget legislation enacted under the Trump administration has included major efforts to reduce federal Medicaid funding and change the program’s structure. For instance, the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” became law in 2025 and is forecast to cut over $1 trillion from federal Medicaid support over the next 10 years. The law introduces measures such as work requirements and more cost-sharing, potentially limiting coverage and reducing funding for select beneficiaries. These policies are likely to shift added costs to states and restrict federal Medicaid growth, despite the program serving tens of millions nationwide.
