House Bill Would Expand Executive Authority to Block Federal Program Funding

A House bill would make it easier for the executive branch to block federal funding for programs including Medicaid and CHIP. The legislation comes amid Trump Administration actions that have restricted access to basic needs programs. The proposal would affect payment flows to states and managed care organizations for programs serving low-income populations. The measure threatens funding stability for programs that help people afford essentials including health care, food assistance, and other basic needs.
