==CMD's Bill Summary==

This model law would prohibit a state from providing medical services in their Medicaid programs that are not mandated by the federal government. Many states provide medical coverage that exceeds federal minimums, so such a law would deny needed medical services to those who qualify for their state's Medicaid program.

==ALEC Bill Text==
