14	Amendment to Amendment (539413)
15	Remove lines 2219-2243, and insert:
16	Medicaid recipient to a managed care plan or MediPass provider.
17	Medicaid recipients who are subject to mandatory assignment but
18	who fail to make a choice shall be assigned to managed care
19	plans until an enrollment of 45 percent in MediPass and 55
20	percent in managed care plans is achieved. Once this enrollment
21	is achieved, the assignments shall be divided in order to
22	maintain an enrollment in MediPass and managed care plans which
23	is in a 45 percent and 55 percent proportion, respectively.
24	Thereafter, assignment of Medicaid recipients who fail to make a
25	choice shall be based proportionally on the preferences of
26	recipients who have made a choice in the previous period. Such
27	proportions shall be revised at least quarterly to reflect an
28	update of the preferences of Medicaid recipients. The agency
29	shall disproportionately assign Medicaid-eligible recipients who
30	are required to but have failed to make a choice of managed care
31	plan or MediPass, including children, and who are to be assigned
32	to the MediPass program to children's networks as described in
33	s. 409.912(3)(g), Children's Medical Services network as defined
34	in s. 391.021, exclusive provider organizations, provider
35	service networks, minority physician networks, and pediatric
36	emergency department diversion programs authorized by this
37	chapter or the General Appropriations Act, in such manner as the
38	agency deems appropriate, until the agency has determined that
39	the networks and programs have sufficient numbers to be
40	economically operated. For purposes of this paragraph, when
