Recent federal budgets under the Trump administration included notable plans to scale back federal Medicaid allocations and overhaul the system. For instance, the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” enacted in 2025, projects more than $1 trillion in federal Medicaid reductions over the next decade and brings measures like work requirements and cost-sharing that may result in less coverage and reduced funding for some recipients. These adjustments are expected to impose additional costs on states and limit the potential for federal Medicaid increases, despite the program retaining coverage for tens of millions nationwide.
