Texas Hospitals Win Back $12 Billion in Medicaid Funds
Nearly $12 billion in Medicaid funding for Texas hospitals will be restored, ending a year-long impasse with federal officials. Gov. Greg Abbott credited CMS and the Trump Administration for the decision, saying the funds will support hospitals, physicians, rural clinics, nursing facilities, and behavioral health providers across the state, help keep emergency rooms open, and preserve local care as Texas bridges the gap between reimbursements and costs.
