This is a significant rise from about $613.5 billion in 2019, the year before the COVID-19 pandemic.

Recent federal budget legislation enacted during the Trump administration brought forth substantial proposals to trim federal Medicaid funding and restructure the program. The “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” signed in 2025, is forecast to cut federal Medicaid outlays by more than $1 trillion in the coming decade and introduces measures like work mandates and increased cost-sharing. These changes could narrow coverage and funding for certain beneficiaries, shifting more financial responsibility to states and slowing federal Medicaid support growth, even as the program remains essential for tens of millions of Americans.
