Federal budget measures passed during the Trump administration brought forward major plans to reduce Medicaid funding and alter the program’s structure. The “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” enacted in 2025, is estimated to decrease federal Medicaid support by over $1 trillion over the next 10 years and implements initiatives like work requirements and more cost-sharing, potentially reducing access and funding for some recipients. These changes are expected to transfer increased costs to states, curbing the federal contribution, even as Medicaid continues to insure tens of millions.
