A significant amount of Medicaid funding is being held up. The issue involves $10 billion in payments. This development has not prompted a challenge from the state's attorney general, Ken Paxton, who is also a U.S.

Senate hopeful. Paxton's office previously defended the state in a similar situation. This was when Medicaid funding was threatened under a different administration.

Further details about the current situation and Paxton's response are available from the source.
