Recent federal budget measures enacted under the Trump administration include significant proposals for cutting federal Medicaid funding and restructuring the program. The “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” signed into law in 2025, is set to reduce federal Medicaid outlays by more than $1 trillion over the next decade and introduce policies such as work requirements and increased cost-sharing that may limit coverage or funding for some users. These changes aim to shift more responsibility to states and place constraints on the growth of federal Medicaid support, while the program continues to cover tens of millions of people.
