From the funds in Specific Appropriations 176 through 223, the agency
shall prepare a federal Medicaid waiver to permit the state, through
legislative enactment, to limit annual spending on the Medicaid program
to the amount appropriated in the state budget. The waiver request shall
include authorization for the legislature to make changes to optional
eligibility groups and services in order to prevent spending more in any

Medicaid recipients to be integrated into the private insurance market
through the use of state vouchers. The wavier shall include a provision
to require Medicaid recipients with higher incomes to participate in
program costs through coinsurance and deductibles and to be provided
incentives for cost effective utilization of the health care system. The
agency shall submit the waiver application to the Legislative Budget
Commission for approval by September 30, 2010, before submission to the
federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
