The “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” signed into law in 2025, is set to cut over $1 trillion in federal Medicaid spending over the next 10 years, adding requirements such as work eligibility and more cost-sharing, which could limit both coverage and funding for some recipients. These changes may increase state costs and slow federal Medicaid funding growth as the program continues to serve millions nationwide.
