Recent federal budget acts under the Trump administration introduced significant plans to cut federal Medicaid funding and reshape the program.

Provisions include work requirements and additional cost-sharing, which could decrease coverage and funding for certain beneficiaries. The changes are set to pass on more costs to states and limit federal Medicaid growth, while the program still serves tens of millions of Americans.
