According to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, in fiscal year 2023, combined state and federal Medicaid expenditures reached about $871.7 billion—about 18% of all national health spending—an increase from roughly $613.5 billion in 2019, before the COVID-19 pandemic.

The 40% increase over this period was mainly due to more beneficiaries enrolling and greater health care use during and after the pandemic.

Recent federal budget laws under the Trump administration have brought notable proposals to limit federal Medicaid funding as well as alter program structure. For example, the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” which became law in 2025, is expected to cut over $1 trillion in federal Medicaid funding over the next decade. It introduces work requirements and higher cost-sharing for some, potentially reducing coverage and federal assistance and shifting expenses to states, while Medicaid still covers tens of millions of Americans.
