The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services reports that combined state and federal Medicaid spending reached around $871.7 billion in fiscal year 2023, making up roughly 18% of total U.S. health expenditures. This is a significant jump from the $613.5 billion spent in 2019, before the COVID-19 pandemic.
This increase amounts to approximately 40% growth over several years, largely attributed to broader enrollment and higher utilization during and after the pandemic.
Recent federal budget actions under the Trump administration brought forward major proposals to cut Medicaid funding and change its structure. The “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” signed into law in 2025, is set to reduce federal Medicaid funding by more than $1 trillion over 10 years and introduces policies like work requirements and expanded cost-sharing. These changes may lower federal support and limit funding and coverage for some enrollees, increasing state financial responsibility even as the program covers tens of millions nationally.
