Federal budget moves made under the Trump administration have included measures aiming to decrease federal Medicaid outlays and revise the program structure. The “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” enacted in 2025, is expected to cut over $1 trillion from federal Medicaid support in the coming decade while instituting changes such as work mandates and higher cost-sharing for some beneficiaries. These additions are anticipated to place more of the funding responsibility on states and could slow federal Medicaid growth, although the program remains a major coverage provider for Americans.
