New federal budget laws enacted under the Trump administration have brought major proposals that reduce federal Medicaid spending and reshape the program. The “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” passed in 2025, is estimated to lower federal Medicaid funding by more than $1 trillion over 10 years; it also sets new work requirements and higher cost-sharing, which could decrease benefits and funds for some recipients. These measures are likely to shift more expenses to states and slow the growth of federal Medicaid assistance, even as the program remains vital for millions of Americans.
