Recent federal budget measures under the Trump administration include notable proposals to lower federal Medicaid funding and reshape the program. For instance, the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” which was enacted in 2025, is expected to reduce federal Medicaid outlays by more than $1 trillion over the next 10 years and implements policies such as work requirements and higher cost-sharing, which could affect coverage and funding for some enrollees. These adjustments are likely to shift additional expenses to states and may restrict growth in federal Medicaid contributions, while the program continues to cover tens of millions across the country.
