Federal budget legislation enacted under the Trump administration included major proposals affecting Medicaid’s funding structure. The “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” signed into law in 2025, is expected to reduce federal Medicaid outlays by more than $1 trillion over the ensuing decade and sets new policies such as work requirements and increased cost-sharing. These measures could curtail coverage or funding for some enrollees and shift additional costs onto states even as millions still rely on the program.
