Federal budget legislation enacted during the Trump administration has included sweeping proposals to reduce Medicaid’s federal funding and restructure the program. The “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” signed in 2025, aims to reduce federal Medicaid outlays by over $1 trillion over ten years and introduces measures like work requirements and increased cost-sharing, changes expected to lower coverage and federal support for certain beneficiaries. These reforms are projected to transfer more costs to states and limit the pace of federal Medicaid growth while the program maintains coverage for tens of millions across the nation.
