The “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” passed in 2025, is expected to reduce federal Medicaid spending by more than $1 trillion over the next decade while adding policies such as work requirements and higher cost-sharing, which could affect coverage and funding for certain recipients. These changes are anticipated to put additional financial pressure on states and may slow federal Medicaid funding growth, as the program continues providing for tens of millions of Americans.
