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.

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.
