This represented a sharp increase from about $613.5 billion in 2019, just before the COVID-19 pandemic.

Recent federal budget measures under the Trump administration have proposed considerable Medicaid funding cuts and program adjustments. The “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” enacted in 2025, is expected to trim more than $1 trillion in federal Medicaid funding over the next 10 years. It brings new policies, such as work requirements and greater cost-sharing, which could decrease coverage and funding for certain recipients. As a result, states may face higher financial responsibilities and reduced federal Medicaid growth, even as the program still serves tens of millions of Americans.
