Summary

Medicaid payment portals across all 50 states are down following Trump’s freeze on federal funding, sparking fears of disrupted healthcare for 79 million Americans, including children and low-income families.

Senator Ron Wyden called the freeze a "blatant attempt" to strip healthcare access, warning of deadly consequences.

The Trump administration claims payments to providers are ongoing but has not explained the outages.

Critics, including healthcare experts, fear significant harm as broader funding freezes impact key programs like Head Start and research grants overseen by HHS.
