This was a sharp increase from $613.5 billion in 2019, prior to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Federal budget legislation passed during the Trump administration featured major proposals to curb Medicaid funds and change how the program is structured. For instance, the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” signed in 2025, is set to cut more than $1 trillion in federal Medicaid spending across the next 10 years, while implementing measures such as work requirements and increased cost-sharing. These shifts could shrink coverage or funding for certain beneficiaries, and are expected to shift additional costs to states and restrict federal support to Medicaid even as the program covers tens of millions.
