9benefits.
10    Notwithstanding any other provision of this Code, if the
11United States Supreme Court holds Title II, Subtitle A, Section
122001(a) of Public Law 111-148 to be unconstitutional, or if a
13holding of Public Law 111-148 makes Medicaid eligibility
14allowed under Section 2001(a) inoperable, the State or a unit
15of local government shall be prohibited from enrolling
16individuals in the Medical Assistance Program as the result of
