Data from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services show combined federal and state Medicaid expenditures were about $871.7 billion in FY 2023, representing approximately 18% of the nation’s health outlays. This was a significant rise from the roughly $613.5 billion recorded in 2019 ahead of the COVID-19 pandemic.

This change marks an increase of about 40% in just a few years, primarily due to broader Medicaid enrollment and greater service use during and after the pandemic.

Under the Trump administration, recent federal budget measures have aimed to significantly reduce Medicaid federal funding and redesign the program. The “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” enacted in 2025, is expected to slash federal Medicaid funds by over $1 trillion over 10 years. It also implements changes such as work requirements and increased cost-sharing that could lessen coverage and funding for some recipients. These revisions are projected to pass greater costs to states and place more limits on the growth of federal Medicaid support, even as tens of millions continue to rely on these benefits.
