The Trump administration’s freezing against the federal subsidy caused confusion and confusion on Tuesdays in a state Medicade institution.
The White House claims that Medicade, which provides health insurance to more than 72 million low -income Americans, has not been affected by the frozen announced on Monday evening, but the government in the state Medicade for several hours on Tuesday. I noticed that it was trapped from the federal funding portal. They began to regain access to the system in the afternoon.
The administration has sent a inconsistent message about Medicade. The management and budget memo stations that announced the suspension on Monday said that social security, med care, and direct support for individuals were not affected, but did not mention Medicade. The office issued Q & A the next day, saying, “Essential programs such as Medicade and Snap (Food Stamps) will continue without pause.”
However, at the first White House’s press conference in President Donald Trump’s second term in his second term, Secretary -General Caroline Levit could immediately answer questions about whether medicade funds were included in freezing. He told the reporters that she had to check and return to them and return. Registers may be cut off. Leavitt later posted to X that the White House knows that the Medicade Portal is down, and says, “I will return to online soon.”
“We have confirmed that the payment has not been affected. They are still processed and sent,” she posted.
In the afternoon of Tuesday, the Federal Judge temporarily blocked a part of the Trump administration’s plan to freeze the federal aid.
The state Medicade agency lost access to the Ministry of Health and Welfare Payment Management Service (PMS) system on Tuesday.
On the PMS site, “PMS has taken additional measures to handle payment by presidential order on unacceptable subsidies. The applicable programs and payments will be delayed and rejected. Masu.”
“My staff has confirmed that Medicade Portal has decreased in all 50 states following the federal funding freeze last night,” said Senator Ron Widen, a Democratic member of Oregon. It was published in X in the afternoon. “This is an explicit attempt to tear health insurance overnight from millions of Americans, and will kill people.”
The Ministry of Social Welfare in Connecticut told the CNN that the government of Medicade could not log in to the system on Tuesday morning, but has recovered in the afternoon. Medicade’s policy experts also told the CNN that the additional state could sign in.
The state Medicade agency will use the PMS system to delete funds, pay the medical hospital, doctors, and other providers, and pay an insurance company that contracts with the state to cover the registrant. That’s it. Many states access the system every quarter, but some states will pay the necessary funds near the end of each month and pay at the start of the next year.
