Notwithstanding any other provision of this Act (or an
amendment made by this Act), with respect to a State, any
provision of this Act or amendment made by this Act that
imposes on the State an expansion of coverage under the
Medicaid program shall not apply to the State if such
expansion would result in the State incurring costs for
providing medical assistance to individuals enrolled under
the State Medicaid program that are greater than the costs
the State would have incurred if this Act and such amendments
had not been enacted.
