I then went to the White House website and I searched:

You searched for Medicaid – The White House

And I got nothing related to what you posted. Hey, I'm trying to confirm your reference. Where did you get it from? Please provide the link to the government page, that way I and others can read it on the White House website. This is what you posted:

Read the Memo Pausing Federal Grants and Loans

The White House’s Office of Management and Budget issued a memo ordering a temporary halt to “all federal financial assistance,” potentially paralyzing a vast swath of federal programs.

​

The PDF you've referenced appears to be a memorandum from the White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB), dated January 27, 2025, which directs federal agencies to temporarily pause all activities related to the obligation or disbursement of federal financial assistance. The memo explicitly exempts Medicare and Social Security from this pause but does not mention Medicaid.

Following the issuance of this memo, there was significant confusion and concern among state officials and healthcare providers regarding the status of Medicaid funding. Many reported being unable to access the online portals used to obtain federal Medicaid funds. In response to these concerns, the OMB later clarified that "mandatory programs like Medicaid" were not intended to be included in the funding freeze. This clarification was issued after the initial memo and the subsequent disruptions it caused.

Therefore, while the original memo did not explicitly state that Medicaid would be unaffected, subsequent clarifications from the OMB indicated that Medicaid funding should continue without interruption."

So there was some confusion and supposedly healthcare professionals (or the "billing staff" in hospitals) were unable to access the federal government Medicaid portal, so they thought that maybe Medicaid funding was being cut ("paused") as well. According to the above clarification, it looks like Medicaid is safe, and hence my 96-year-old great auntie (my grandmother's sister) who lives in a nursing home and relies on Medicaid is going to be OK.

Really, all of the people who rely on Medicaid, and are going to get cut off and probably die, are unjustly complaining and just having a child-tantrum? Are you a millionaire that can pay his medical bills cash? You haven't been denied coverage yet? You've never been in a situation where you need Medicaid? You'd be surprised how life can turn on you and you end up in a situation where you need it.

None of that is true. But, I hope it keeps you awake.

 

[TruthNotBS]

Nothing can keep me awake when it's time to sleep.

I was preparing to bring her to my home, but she insists she likes living in the nursing home with her friends. We visit her often. It's a great place. It's modern, and clean, and they have regular activities, and of course a medical staff there to help her..etc.

The confusion was sown by liberals and leftists spreading disinformation about the true purpose of the order.

But at least you are acknowledging my statement as correct.

WATCH: ‘I have nothing to do with Project 2025,’ Trump says​

After Trump’s Project 2025 denials, he is tapping its authors and influencers for key roles​

Top Trump picks have ties to Project 2025 -​

Precedent dictates that the first question of the briefing goes to The Associated Press. This time, Leavitt began by offering the first question to Mike Allen of Axios, who occupied a seat in the room typically reserved for the press secretary’s staff. Her second question went to Matthew Boyle of Breitbart, seated by Allen’s side.

Leavitt said these seats would be available to new media reporters going forward, holding out a well-placed perch to outlets not previously accommodated in the seating assignments for reporters and correspondents attending the daily briefings and news conferences. Trump’s campaign leveraged a similar strategy when it made use of podcasts and nontraditional media — which he has credited with helping him earn support from younger Americans — in a bid to reach a larger share of the vote.

“I take great pride in opening up this room to new media voices to share the president’s message with as many Americans as possible,” Leavitt said Tuesday. “We will ensure that outlets like yours, Axios, and Breitbart, which are widely respected and viewed outlets, have an actual seat in this room every day.”

The confusion was sown by liberals and leftists spreading disinformation about the true purpose of the order.

But at least you are acknowledging my statement as correct.

I wouldn't say it was "sown by liberals", since there were some problems in the beginning, until the issue was clarified:

​

I hope Medicaid isn't affected, we'll see. As of now, it looks like everything should be OK. You are correct, and I was likely wrong. I will leave the thread open.

“That’s what this pause is focused on, being good stewards of tax dollars,” she said.

Leavitt said the pause on federal aid is “not a blanket pause on federal assistance and grant programs” and repeatedly insisted that it will not apply to individual assistance. When asked directly if she could assure no individual on Medicaid would lose coverage, she said, “I’ll check back on that.”

Medicaid payments appeared frozen Tuesday as access to online portals was blocked across the country. The Medicaid websites manage the federal health funds used to help provide coverage to nearly 80 million people in the U.S.

Following the briefing, Leavitt posted on X that the Medicaid systems taken down after the pause would be back online shortly.

When pressed about what specific programs would be affected, Leavitt said she had not seen the entire list of impacted programs from the White House Office of Management and Budget but would soon provide it.

It isn't. So, while the concern is warranted, you legitimately jumped the gun.

Don't let fear drive you.

Federal grants, aka Dem bribes, kickbacks and grift schemes.

Fear doesn't drive me any more than it does you. There was a legitimate reason to be concerned, due to the reasons mentioned earlier, but the issue has been officially clarified hence Medicaid as of now should be safe.

Both parties are guilty of that crap, not just Dems.

Indeed, notice that it’s only USMBs resident trolls that like this propaganda piece,another sockpuppet shill.wrong president sockpuppet,thst was biden.

 

[LA RAM FAN]

Are you denying the fact that 20 States have now lost their Medicaid funding from the Federal government and aren't going to continue providing services?

No sockpuppet we just don’t lie as you do that it’s because of biden

The jig is up sockpuppet,you were exposed in post number 3 whst you look like in real life,you look cute in diapers.

Your explicit words were "millions at risk of dying."

That statement was driven by fear, and intended to cause fear. That leads me to question your sincerity and your supposed concern.

The first rule when you have mass confusion is NOT TO INCITE FEAR AND PANIC. You should seek to educate and reassure those who are confused.

Pathetic stupid Liberals always whining. Just ignore them. They LOST!

Best damn post on this thread,thsts what I always do,don’t feed the butthurt trolls.

You just don't like that fact, hence your charge of some "moral lapse" on my part. Based on the information available to me at the time, I really did believe Medicaid funding was being cut (whether that cut is a temporary pause or not is irrelevant, especially when there's no information about how long funding will be unavailable). Millions of Americans rely on Medicaid to live and if that source of healthcare is disrupted in any way, it can definitely lead to millions of Americans dying.

Looking at how callously indifferent many right-wing conservatives are about the needs of the poor or working-class people, I wasn't surprised that Medicaid was being cut. Look at the first page of this thread, and see how that person posted several images of babies crying. That's the attitude that many right-wing conservatives have towards the needs and suffering of those they deem "unworthy" or subhuman. If someone complains about Medicaid being cut, their response is posting a baby crying (stop whining about Medicaid being cut, too bad for you). Sociopathic, psychotic indifference.
