Recent federal legislative activity under the Trump administration has included large-scale proposals to lower federal Medicaid funding and revise program structures. The “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” which became law in 2025, is expected to decrease federal Medicaid outlays by more than $1 trillion over 10 years and introduces measures such as work requirements and increased cost-sharing, potentially cutting coverage and funds for certain recipients. These revisions may shift higher costs to individual states and restrain federal Medicaid funding growth, even as the program continues to provide care for millions of Americans.
