According to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, combined federal and state Medicaid expenditures reached approximately $871.7 billion during fiscal year 2023, representing about 18% of total national health expenditures, which is a significant increase from $613.5 billion in 2019, before the COVID-19 pandemic.

This jump amounts to almost 40% growth in just a few years, driven largely by increased enrollment and higher utilization during and after the pandemic.

Recent federal budget measures under the Trump administration have included substantial proposals to reduce Medicaid funding and overhauled program structure. For instance, the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” enacted in 2025, is expected to cut over $1 trillion from federal Medicaid funding over the next decade. It also introduces work requirements and greater cost-sharing, which could affect coverage and funding for some recipients. These changes are likely to increase state financial responsibility and slow federal support growth, even as Medicaid continues to cover tens of millions nationwide.
