Medicaid is a joint state and federal public health insurance program. It provides coverage for low-income people and families, seniors, children, and individuals with disabilities, making it a core part of the U.S. health care system. Funding comes from both state and federal governments. More details are available from the Commonwealth Fund.

Since Medicaid expenditures are funded by taxpayers, fluctuations in local billing levels reflect how these public health care resources are distributed in the community.

Recent federal budgets under the Trump administration have proposed significant cuts to federal Medicaid funding, as well as potential restructuring of the program. The “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” enacted in 2025, is expected to trim more than $1 trillion in federal Medicaid expenditures over 10 years. It also adds work requirements and higher cost-sharing, changes that may impact coverage and state-level funding. These adjustments are likely to move more expenses to states and slow the pace of federal Medicaid support, although the program will continue to serve tens of millions nationwide.
