Governor Abbott Announces Approval Of Medicaid Funding By The Federal Government
TEXAS, September 17 - September 17, 2026 | Austin, Texas | Press Release
Governor Greg Abbott today announced that Texas has secured nearly $12 billion in critical Medicaid funding after months of negotiation with the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS).
“This funding is a major victory for Texas patients,” said Governor Abbott. “It authorizes nearly $12 billion for hospitals, physicians, rural clinics, nursing facilities, and behavioral health providers that serve patients in every region of our state. Emergency rooms will stay open, rural families will retain local care, and Texans will have access to the treatment they need. I thank CMS and the Trump Administration for helping ensure Texans get the medical care they need.”
The Office of the Governor and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission worked with CMS to secure this funding. Under Governor Abbott’s leadership, the State of Texas will work with our federal partners to ensure Texans have access to quality, affordable health care.
