Recent federal legislation under the Trump administration featured major proposals to reduce the federal share of Medicaid spending and alter the structure of the program. Notably, the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” signed into law in 2025, is expected to reduce federal Medicaid expenditures by more than $1 trillion over the coming decade. It includes policies such as mandatory work requirements and higher cost-sharing, which may cut coverage and funding for certain groups, shifting increased financial responsibility to states and limiting growth in federal assistance—even as Medicaid remains vital for millions.
