Provides background on Medicaid, and discusses legal vehicles plaintiffs have used to sue States to enforce Federal Medicaid requirements. Examines Supreme Court decision in Armstrong v. Exception Child Center, Inc. , which held that private parties cannot seek an injunction from a Federal court to prevent State Medicaid officials from implementing a State plan that may violate Federal law. Considers potential implications of this decision for Medicaid, and availability of equitable relief against State officers in Federal courts generally.
