Wait, FDIC doesn't handle margin requirements? That's surprising!

I thought it was the NYSE, but now I’m second-guessing myself. I need to review the regulatory bodies again.

I’m leaning towards FINRA as well. I practiced a question similar to this last week, and it pointed to them.

I feel like it might be the FRB, but I also recall some practice questions mentioning NYSE. It's confusing!

I feel pretty confident about this one. The difference is that workers' compensation covers a broader range of costs, both direct and indirect, related to workplace injuries, while group healthcare is more focused on general medical expenses. I'll mark my answer and move on.
