Texas hospitals expect to lose $27 million a day in Medicaid funding starting Tuesday

Texas hospitals are anticipating a daily loss of $27 million in Medicaid funding beginning this Tuesday. Starting September 1, the Trump administration will withhold approximately $9.8 billion in supplemental funding. These specific funds are designed to help medical facilities cover the financial gap between standard Medicaid payments and the actual costs of providing healthcare services. This significant reduction in federal support creates a substantial funding deficit for hospitals across the state of Texas.
