Major federal budget bills enacted under the Trump administration have included sweeping changes to Medicaid policy. The “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” signed into law in 2025, is set to reduce federal Medicaid spending by more than $1 trillion over the coming decade and introduces measures such as work requirements and higher cost-sharing, which may lower coverage rates and public funding for certain recipients. These new rules are expected to increase states’ share of Medicaid costs and slow federal funding growth as tens of millions continue relying on the program.
