Recent federal legislation passed under the Trump administration has featured notable proposals to reduce federal Medicaid funds and alter the program’s structure. The “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” enacted in 2025, is expected to trim more than $1 trillion in federal Medicaid spending over 10 years, adding requirements such as work mandates and greater cost-sharing. These changes could restrict coverage and funding for certain beneficiaries and place more financial responsibility on states, even as Medicaid serves tens of millions of people nationally.
