Recent federal budget deals enacted during the Trump administration have included sizable proposals to reduce federal Medicaid spending and shift the program structure. For instance, the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” passed in 2025, is expected to reduce federal Medicaid expenditures by more than $1 trillion over 10 years, adding new policies like work requirements and more cost-sharing expected to limit coverage and funding for some recipients.
