Recent federal budget measures enacted during the Trump administration have proposed reducing federal Medicaid funding and changing the program’s structure. The “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” passed in 2025, is projected to cut federal Medicaid spending by more than $1 trillion over the next decade and includes elements such as work requirements and higher cost-sharing, which could limit coverage and funding for some individuals.
