Medicaid is a joint federal and state program that covers health care for low-income individuals and families, older adults, children, and people with disabilities, making it one of the largest components in the U.S. health care system. It is funded by federal and state governments.
Since Medicaid funding uses taxpayer dollars, variations in local billing reflect how health care money is allocated in communities.

Recent federal budget actions taken during the Trump administration included major proposals to scale back Medicaid funding and change the structure of the program. The “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” signed into law in 2025, is set to reduce federal funding by more than $1 trillion over 10 years and implement provisions such as work requirements and higher cost-sharing, which could limit coverage and shift costs to states for some beneficiaries. These measures are expected to slow the rate of federal support even though the program remains essential for millions of Americans.
