Trump White House Blames 'Outage' For Medicaid Website Lockout: 'We Have Confirmed No Payments Have Been Affected'
A nationwide lockout of federal health payment systems, reportedly due to an "outage", has led to widespread criticism of the White House. The lockout affected several organizations and agencies, including state Medicaid programs, federally funded Head Start early education programs, and community health centers.
因爲所謂的「故障」導致的全國性聯邦健康支付系統鎖定,引發了對白宮的廣泛批評。此次鎖定影響了多個組織和機構,包括州醫療補助項目、聯邦資助的Head Start早期教育項目以及社區健康中心。
What Happened: The White House attributed the lockout to an "outage." White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said on X that the administration is "aware" of the Medicaid website not functioning.
發生了什麼:白宮將此次鎖定歸因於「故障」。白宮新聞秘書卡羅琳·利維特在X上表示,政府「知道」醫療補助網站無法運行。
"We have confirmed no payments have been affected — they are still being processed and sent," said Leavitt.
利維特表示:「我們確認沒有支付受到影響——它們仍在處理和發送中。」
The White House is aware of the Medicaid website portal outage.

We have confirmed no payments have been affected — they are still being processed and sent.
We expect the portal will be back online shortly.
白宮已意識到醫療補助網站門戶故障。
— 卡羅琳·利維特 (@PressSec) 2025年1月28日
我們確認沒有支付受到影響——它們仍在處理和發送中。
我們預計門戶將很快恢復上線。
The lockout prevented multiple state Medicaid programs from accessing their payment systems. However, operations resumed later the same day, according to a CBS News report. The incident coincided with President Donald Trump's controversial decision to freeze spending across the federal government, leading to heightened criticism from state governments, nonprofits, and lawmakers.
此次鎖定阻止了多個州醫療補助項目訪問其支付系統。然而,根據CBS新聞的報道,當天稍晚運營恢復。事件恰逢特朗普的爭議決定,凍結聯邦政府的開支,導致州政府、非營利組織和立法者的批評加劇。
The entities affected were unable to access the Payment Management Services web portal, run by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), which processes billions of dollars in payments annually.
受影響的實體無法訪問由衛生與公共服務部(HHS)運行的支付管理服務網頁,該部門每年處理數十億美元的支付。
The lockout and the ongoing communication "pause" imposed by the Trump administration at HHS led to a flurry of requests for comment from various stakeholders, including the National Association of Medicaid Directors and several lawmakers.
特朗普政府在HHS實施的鎖定措施和持續的溝通「暫停」引發了來自各方利益相關者的密集評論請求,包括國家醫療補助主任協會和幾位立法者。
Why It Matters: The lockout occurred amidst the administration's decision to freeze spending across the federal government, a move that has been challenged legally. A federal judge issued a temporary stay on the funding freeze, halting the move until further arguments can be heard.
爲什麼這很重要:鎖定發生在政府決定凍結整個聯邦政府開支的背景下,這一舉措受到法律挑戰。聯邦法官對資金凍結髮出了臨時禁止令,暫停了該舉措,直到可以聽取進一步的辯論。
The freeze put $3 trillion in funding under scrutiny. This directive required all federal agencies to halt disbursements while programs were reviewed for alignment with Trump's policy priorities.
該凍結使3萬億美元的資金受到審查。該指令要求所有聯邦機構在審查與特朗普政策優先事項的對齊情況時停止撥款。
The move is expected to hit sectors such as healthcare, education, clean energy and others. Stocks of clean energy companies like Sunnova Energy International Inc. (NYSE:NOVA). and Sunrun Inc. (NASDAQ:RUN) suffered a downturn. Shares of healthcare-sector firms like Universal Health Services Inc. (NYSE:UHS) and Tenet Healthcare Corp. (NYSE:THC) also were in the red on Tuesday.
此舉預計將對醫療、教育、清潔能源等行業產生衝擊。清潔能源公司如SunNova Energy International Inc.(紐交所:Nova)和Sunrun Inc.(納斯達克:RUN)的股票遭遇下滑。醫療行業公司如Universal Health Services Inc.(紐交所:UHS)和Tenet Healthcare CORP.(紐交所:THC)的股票在週二也出現下跌。
