Medicaid is a publicly funded health insurance program managed by state governments with financial support from both federal and state sources. It provides coverage to low-income families, seniors, children, and individuals with disabilities, and is a major component of the U.S. health care system.

Recent federal budget measures signed under the Trump administration introduced large policy shifts designed to decrease federal Medicaid spending and alter the structure of the program. Legislation like the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” signed into law in 2025, is set to reduce federal Medicaid funding by more than $1 trillion over the following decade. The act also implements measures such as work requirements and higher cost-sharing that may result in less coverage and funding for certain groups, transferring greater funding responsibility to states and capping federal program growth as Medicaid continues to support millions nationwide.
