Summary
Texas hospitals narrowly avoided a catastrophic funding collapse after facing the imminent loss of nearly $12 billion in federal Medicaid dollars. With daily losses hitting $27 million, the threat could have shuttered ERs and cut off rural care—putting millions at risk. Thanks to swift action by the governor’s office and negotiations with federal agencies, the funding has been restored, ensuring critical healthcare services remain operational and patients continue receiving essential care.
