Major federal budget measures during the Trump administration introduced large-scale proposals to curtail federal Medicaid funds and restructure the program. The “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” enacted in 2025, is projected to trim more than $1 trillion from federal Medicaid allocations over the coming decade and brings policies such as mandatory work requirements and higher cost-sharing, which may reduce benefits and funding for some recipients.
