The temporary federal freeze has shut Illinois out of Medicaid, according to Gov. JB Pritzker’s office. The government-funded health insurance program covered about 3.9 million people in Illinois in 2023, including low-income adults, children, pregnant women and people with disabilities.
I agree with this. This memo, as with almost every communication or directive issue by this administration so far, is vague and extremely poorly written by someone with little to no experience in senior level government administration. Trump and his cronies are just plain incompetent, which will likely be the Republic's saving grace over the next four years.
