Medicaid is the public health insurance program jointly funded by federal and state governments and managed by individual states. It supports low-income individuals and families, older adults, children, and people with disabilities, remaining one of the largest pillars of the U.S. health care system.

Recent federal budget decisions made during the Trump administration included significant measures to lower federal Medicaid funding and restructure the program. The “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” signed into law in 2025, is forecast to reduce federal Medicaid expenditure by over $1 trillion in the coming decade and introduces policies such as work requirements and increased cost-sharing that could restrict coverage and funding for certain enrollees. These adjustments are expected to shift additional costs to states and limit federal Medicaid growth, even as the program continues to support tens of millions nationwide.
