The “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” enacted in 2025, is expected to reduce federal Medicaid funding by more than $1 trillion over 10 years and adds measures such as work requirements and increased cost sharing that could limit coverage and financing for some. These changes are projected to transfer more expenses to states and restrict federal support, even as Medicaid remains a key health safety net for millions of Americans.
