NEW: To Pay for Trump Tax Cuts, House GOP Could Slash Benefits for Poor, Working Class propublica.org/article/trump… @RobertFaturechi @JustinElliott

OMB sent out a memo in the last hour stipulating that the cuts don't affect Medicaid or SNAP (see @JStein_WaPo's feed)
Love to have an administration where everyone is on the same page

I am hearing numerous reports that states are LOCKED OUT OF THEIR MEDICAID ACCOUNTS.
This is a major crisis. Many states draw down funding at the end of the month i.e. this week.
Many rural hospitals have less than 30 days cash on hand.
If Medicaid payments are delayed because dollars are not flowing to states we could see rural hospitals close.
I just contacted @JerryMoran about the freeze in funding and the staffer assured me it was perfectly normal.
There is nothing normal about freezing Medicaid dollars that rural hospitals depend on and stopping funding to Head Start programs.
The Senate needs to use its power.

Guess I see the challenge differently. Trump is flooding the zone with stuff like this, and we need to keep up. The important thing is not to get distracted by everything that gets a tickle on social media. As I wrote on inauguration day: washingtonpost.com/opinions/…

From Ray Hanley: As a former AR Medicaid director under three governors, I am greatly concerned about the damage that Congress may unwittingly inflict on states, their health systems and state budgets--especially in the rural heartland. #arpx #Medicaid arkansasonline.com/news/2025…

Tens of millions of people would be at risk of losing #Medicaid coverage under recent red-tape-laden work requirement proposals. State level estimates in our new paper: cbpp.org/research/health/med…
The only reason #ksleg has not expanded Medicaid is politics.
We need to bring hundreds of millions a of dollars back to Kansas to improve access to care, create jobs and protect hospitals. Lets’s go.
#ksleg and Governor Kelly can work together to make sure no Kansas kid goes hungry.
We can get there by supporting Governor Kelly’s budget which proposes providing free schools meals to any child who qualifies for reduced-price school meals.
Kansas can be the best place to live and raise a child.
To achieve this goal, we need to make government work better and establish the office of early childhood.
We also need to continue to invest in the child care system.
Yes, we KAN. #ksleg

There's talk in Congress of capping federal spending on Medicaid. Over time, Medicaid spending per enrollee has grown slower than both private insurance and Medicare.

New blog from @EdwinCPark and me; these cuts are not inevitable as House margin is so tight. Medicaid is very much at risk, however.

In 2024, the Fed achieved its elusive soft-landing as inflation neared the 2% target (and the stock market rallied in response).

Kansans rely on rural hospitals to get the care they need close to home, but 63% of our rural hospitals are vulnerable to closing their doors. That's why we must take the next step to support these hospitals by finally expanding Medicaid.

Thanks to years of careful budgeting, we have paid down debt, including over $2.1B in early debt retirement. This fiscal responsibility has allowed us to fully fund our schools, improve infrastructure, and grow our rainy day fund — all while cutting taxes for Kansans.
