Medicaid is a public health insurance program managed by states and funded jointly by the federal and state governments. Serving low-income individuals and families, seniors, children, and people with disabilities, it is among the largest components of the U.S. health care system.

Because Medicaid funding comes from taxpayer dollars, fluctuations in local billing reflect how public health care resources are distributed within a community.

This made up approximately 18% of national health expenditures, rising sharply from about $613.5 billion in 2019, prior to the COVID-19 pandemic.

This growth represents an increase of about 40% in only a few years, primarily due to expanded enrollment and greater utilization during and following the pandemic period.

Recent federal budget measures enacted during the Trump administration have put forward substantial reductions to federal Medicaid funding and adjustments to the program. For example, the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” signed in 2025, is expected to cut over $1 trillion in federal Medicaid expenditures over the next decade. The law also introduces work requirements and increased cost-sharing, policies that may result in reduced coverage and funding for certain beneficiaries. These changes are likely to move greater costs to states and could restrict the growth of federal Medicaid support as the program continues serving millions of Americans.
