With the state's new fiscal year beginning on Tuesday, Texas hospitals expect to lose $27 million a day in additional Medicaid funding.

The shortfall is the result of a decision by the Trump administration to withhold approval from Texas for about $9. 8 billion in the next year from three programs, the bulk of which affects the Comprehensive Hospital Increase Reimbursement Program (CHIRP).
