Since this is such an important program, especially to the poor and to our children, discuss whether this program should be state-based at all or entirely administered at the federal level? If your State opted out, what is the potential damage? If this be a Federally administered program, would there be less concern, and would more lives be covered? Is there a counterpoint to this? Should it remain currently administered? Back up your opinions with references and in-text citations to the course readings, lectures, or external articles
