Authorizes appropriations for such demonstration program through FY 1993.

Requires States to continue the Medicaid eligibility of pregnant women through the month which includes the 60th day following their pregnancies and to children under age one regardless of changed circumstances which would otherwise render them ineligible for such benefits.
