According to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, overall federal and state Medicaid expenditures reached about $871.7 billion in fiscal 2023, equating to approximately 18% of all national health expenditures. This level is considerably higher than the $613.5 billion reported for 2019, prior to the COVID-19 public health emergency.

The change signals a roughly 40% surge in just several years—primarily spurred by increasing enrollment and greater use of services as a result of the pandemic and its aftermath.

Recent federal budget actions under the Trump administration included substantial proposals to decrease federal Medicaid spending and alter the program’s structure. The “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” signed into law in 2025, is estimated to lower federal Medicaid funds by more than $1 trillion over the next 10 years. It introduces initiatives like mandatory work requirements and higher cost-sharing, which may reduce both coverage and financial support for certain participants. These policy adjustments are anticipated to increase state funding responsibilities while restricting the pace of federal Medicaid expansion, even as the program provides coverage for tens of millions nationally.
