Federal budget legislation signed under the Trump administration included measures to cut federal Medicaid funding and modify the program’s structure. The “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” enacted in 2025, is expected to reduce federal Medicaid spending by over $1 trillion over the coming decade and introduce provisions like work requirements and higher cost-sharing, which could affect coverage and funding for certain recipients.
