The Economics of Federalism
Since the ratification of the U.S. Constitution, relations among state governments and the national government have grown to be much more interdependent. Whereas states once enjoyed greater autonomy (dual federalism), the additional demands placed on government (at all levels) has fostered an evolution of federalism, whereby the federal government now plays a much more pronounced role in local and state affairs, with respect to a whole host of issues (including healthcare, education, public safety, transportation, etc.).
Describe block grants, categorical grants, and unfunded mandates. How do they demonstrate fiscal federalism?
Explain which funding mechanism states prefer. Why? Which funding mechanism does the federal government prefer? Why?

What are the eligibility requirements, and who sets them? How do the basic conditions set by the federal government constrain AHCCCS?
