This is a good test of our understanding of Medicaid. Option C looks like the right answer - the states have the flexibility to set their own standards within the federal framework. I feel good about selecting that choice.

Okay, I think I've got this. The federal government sets the basic benefits, while the states determine the eligibility, coverage, and provider participation. I'm pretty confident that option C is the correct answer.
