Recent federal budget measures under the Trump administration have incorporated major proposals to cut federal Medicaid dollars and alter the program’s structure. The “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” enacted in 2025, is expected to eliminate more than $1 trillion in federal Medicaid funding over 10 years and add policies like work requirements and higher cost-sharing, potentially affecting benefits and coverage for some enrollees. The legislation could result in more costs being assumed by states and constrain future federal support, as Medicaid continues to serve millions of Americans.
