Hours after President Donald Trump’s administration announced it was freezing potentially trillions of dollars in federal grants and other fiscal aid across the nation, Illinois agencies were having trouble accessing Medicaid systems,

Medicaid, the health care program for low-income people and families, is jointly administered by the federal and state government, which also share costs.

Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker said President Donald Trump’s pause on federal funding is illegal and accused the administration of lying when it said programs that provide direct assistance like Medicaid would not be affected.
