Hmm, I'm a little unsure about this one. I know Medicaid is a joint program, but I'm not totally clear on the division of responsibilities between the federal and state governments. I'll have to think this through step-by-step.

I'm feeling lucky, so I'm going with D. Who needs federal oversight when you've got the states to handle everything, am I right?

C is the way to go, no doubt about it. The states have to wrangle all the nitty-gritty details of Medicaid, the feds just set the broad strokes.
