Officials: California Health Programs Lose Billions of Federal Dollars
State Medicaid budgets will shrink by $665 billion over the next decade with 7.6 million fewer enrollees, as federal funding cuts vary widely by state, RAND Health projects.
- Last month, RAND Health's analysis shows state Medicaid budgets will be reduced by $665 billion over the next decade after the One Big Beautiful Bill Act cuts federal investment, based on their analysis of state and federal data.
- Because the law restricts financing options, new federal rules including work requirements reduce enrollment, and limits on provider taxes and state-directed payments force states to use state general funds.
- Small or rural states including Wyoming and South Dakota may see increases, while North Dakota and Nebraska are likely to see minimal impacts, and Florida may see less than half a percent change.
- The federal government will save about $714 billion from 2025-2034, with net state budget impacts outside Medicaid totaling $86 billion, and some states could see more than 2% savings.
- Preethi Rao, a senior economist at RAND, said by 2034, Medicaid will have 7.6 million fewer enrollees, and effects will vary across states, according to the report by Stateline and States Newsroom.
