dependent child eligibility

[Guest Brenda N.]

When Congress wrote into the Social Security Act that States cannot receive federal Medicaid funds unless they have laws that require an insurer to enroll children under a parent's health insurance regardless if the child lives with the parent or is claimed on a parent's tax return, was that meant to only apply when enrolling a child due to a QMCSO? Or are health insurance plans not to have those eligibilty requirements for any child?
