White House Caught With Pants Down As Medicaid Funding Portals Go Down

Quick Summary:

President Donald Trump's federal funding freeze is supposedly not supposed to affect Medicaid — but state Medicaid officials say that they're locked out of their federal funding portals regardless.

Less than a day after the White House Office of Budget and Management (OMB) sent a memo to all federal agencies temporarily pausing all federal loans and grants, lawmakers began raising alarm bells after discovering that Medicaid officials had been locked out of the portals they use to track and allocate the federal money that keeps them afloat.

For anyone who remembers the first week of Trump's first presidency, this level of ineptitude and disruption is relatively par for the course.
