That figure was a steep increase from about $613.5 billion in 2019, before the COVID-19 pandemic.

Recent federal budget actions taken under the Trump administration have included proposals to shrink federal Medicaid financing and reorganize the program. The “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” signed in 2025, is forecast to lower federal Medicaid spending by over $1 trillion over the next 10 years and adds changes like work requirements and increased cost-sharing that could reduce coverage for some groups. These shifts are expected to transfer increased costs to states and limit how much federal support rises, even as Medicaid remains critical to tens of millions of Americans.
