Recent federal budget measures during the Trump administration have put forward major changes to reduce federal Medicaid funding. The “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” enacted in 2025, is expected to decrease federal Medicaid funding by more than $1 trillion over a decade. It also brings in policies such as work requirements and additional cost-sharing, which could lower coverage and funding for certain beneficiaries. These reforms are likely to increase the financial burden on states and curb federal Medicaid support, even as the program remains essential for tens of millions of Americans.
