Recent federal budget actions signed during the Trump administration have proposed notable cuts and reorganization for Medicaid. The “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” approved in 2025, is projected to reduce federal Medicaid spending by over $1 trillion in the next decade and includes elements like work requirements and greater cost-sharing that may decrease funding and coverage for some recipients. These moves are set to shift more of the program’s costs to states and could limit federal Medicaid growth even as it continues to cover millions across the U.S.
