The Biden administration has announced that they're going to wind down the emergency measures that were put in place at the start of the pandemic.

And in fact, the house is going to be voting on resolutions to end that immediately.
事实上，众议院将就立即结束紧急状态的决议进行投票。
And so the White House tried to preempt those votes by announcing the emergencies will end on May 11th, and they said that if you have an abrupt end that would create "wide-ranging chaos and uncertainty throughout the healthcare system."
白宫试图抢占先机，并宣布紧急状态将于5月11日结束，他们说，如果突然结束紧急状态，将给整个医疗体系造成“大范围的混乱和不确定性”。
One of the biggest things that it did was it gave states extra money for Medicaid.
紧急状态最要的内容之一就是为各州的医疗补助提供了额外的资金。
And the federal government gave the states more money for that in exchange for states not kicking people off Medicaid during the emergency.
