Federal budgets enacted under the Trump administration have featured notable proposals to reduce Medicaid funding and change its structure. The “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” enacted in 2025, is estimated to cut federal Medicaid funding by more than $1 trillion over the next decade and establishes new requirements like work conditions and higher beneficiary cost-sharing. These adjustments are likely to increase states’ financial responsibility and curb the growth of federal Medicaid contributions, although the program continues to assist tens of millions nationwide.
