I don't think the insurer becomes the sponsor just by accepting premiums, so option C seems off to me. I might go with A or D instead.

I recall a practice question that mentioned shared risk in some plans, but I thought fully funded meant the employer takes all the risk, so I'm confused about option B.

I'm not entirely sure, but I feel like we discussed how the insurer typically takes on the risk in these arrangements, which makes me lean towards option D.

I think I remember that in a fully funded plan, the employer usually bears the financial risk, so option A might be correct?

Okay, let's see here. I think it has something to do with how the system handles creating vulnerability groups, but I'm not entirely sure which property controls that.

Option B seems like the most logical choice to me. I mean, if Poplar was bearing all the risk, why would they need to contract with Blue Cross/Blue Shield in the first place?
