Federal Judge Blocks Biden Medicaid Funding Overreach
Liberty Check
- Judge Jeremy Kernodle, appointed by President Trump, halted the CMS from enforcing its new Medicaid funding mandate.
- Paxton warned the rule would harm Texas providers and jeopardize care for those most in need.
- Texas argued CMS was forcing federal policy on states under threat of funding loss.
A federal judge has permanently blocked the Biden administration’s CMS rule changing how states fund Medicaid costs.
The court ruled the federal agency exceeded its authority and improperly tried to redefine permitted arrangements.
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton had led a legal challenge against the rule.
He argued it would strip states’ rights and risk vital funding for vulnerable citizens.
Federal overreach in state Medicaid programs signals a clear disregard for constitutional limits and states’ rights.
It’s time to push back.
