Understanding the Impact of Federal Funding Cuts to Medicaid

The resources on this page are intended to help stakeholders understand how federal funding cuts contained in the ‘One Big Beautiful Bill Act’ (OBBBA) will impact Medicaid, which covers roughly 1 in 4 Illinoisans.

July 8, 2025
Statement from HFS Director Elizabeth M. Whitehorn:

“The federal Medicaid cuts will be devastating, as they will strip coverage away from many of our current customers, strain providers across the state, diminish funding for critical reproductive healthcare services, and bring major fiscal pressures for the state. HFS will do everything we can to minimize the harm of these cuts for Illinoisans.”
