Recent federal legislative actions from the Trump administration introduced sizable proposed reductions in federal Medicaid disbursements and adjustments to the structure of the program. The “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” enacted in 2025, aims to decrease federal Medicaid funding by more than $1 trillion over the next 10 years and enacts measures such as work requirements and higher beneficiary cost-sharing—potentially reducing funding and coverage for certain individuals. With these changes, greater costs could shift to states, further limiting future federal funding growth while Medicaid continues to provide health benefits to millions of Americans.
