Texas AG Ken Paxton sues Biden administration over billions in rescinded Medicaid funding

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is suing the Biden administration over its decision to rescind a Medicaid waiver extension that would ensure billions in emergency care funding to the state’s hospitals over several years.

Federal health officials revoked the extension in April, saying the Trump administration, which had approved it in its waning days, failed to allow for public comment. They have welcomed the state to reapply before the current waiver lapses in the fall of 2022.

In a suit filed Friday, Paxton argued that the officials lacked authority to overturn the decision, and said the state and its health care providers had already made long-term financial decisions based on the approval.

Just get out there and support Texit, Ken, and we can do away with the crap from Washington.

No more income tax collected from Texans that go to fund illegals coming into our state to rape our daughters or steal from us, no more reliance on ANY federal funds.

Make it so.
