Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services data shows total federal and state Medicaid spending hit approximately $871.7 billion in fiscal 2023, making up about 18% of all national health expenditures—up significantly from around $613.5 billion in 2019, before the COVID-19 pandemic.

The increase amounts to about 40% growth over a few years, largely driven by increased program enrollment and higher use during and after the pandemic.

Recent federal budget changes under the Trump administration included extensive measures to reduce federal Medicaid funding and modify the program. The “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” enacted in 2025, is expected to cut more than $1 trillion from federal Medicaid spending over 10 years. It implements new policies, such as work requirements and higher cost-sharing, which may limit enrollment and reduce funding for some participants. These reforms are forecasted to transfer more responsibility to states while curbing the increase in federal Medicaid support, even as the program continues serving tens of millions of Americans.
