The “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” signed into law in 2025, is expected to reduce federal Medicaid spending by more than $1 trillion over the next 10 years while introducing work requirements and additional cost-sharing, potentially reducing coverage and payments for some enrollees. These measures are forecast to shift more expenses to states and restrict federal Medicaid growth, although the program continues to cover tens of millions of people.
