Since 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?Describe how both state and federal governments participate in the provision of medical care to low-income residents.In Arizona, low-income residents receive healthcare coverage through the Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System (AHCCCS). How is AHCCCS funded (e.g., categorical grants)? What are the eligibility requirements, and who sets them? How do the basic conditions set by the federal government constrain AHCCCS?Assess the effectiveness of federal aid to state and local communities, particularly as it relates to healthcare coverage.Use two to three scholarly resources to support your explanations.Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center.

5-2 Simulation Discussion: Production, Entry, and ExitDiscussion Topic Starts Jul 24, 2021 11:59 PMNOTE THAT A CUSTOM RUBRIC IS USED FOR THIS DISCUSSION.In a competitive market, there are many buyers and sellers. The goods offered are largely the same, and firms can freely enter or exit the market. Buyers and sellers are both price takers. The amount of output produced determines the revenue of a firm.First, play the simulation game Production, Entry, and Exit in the MindTap environment. In this discussion, you will share your experiences playing that game. Your work in this discussion will directly support your success on the course project.In your initial post, include the image of your simulation report in your response. See the How to Submit a Simulation Report Image document for more information. Then, address the following questions:Imagine you own your own business. Based on what you learned from the simulation, what factors would determine your entry and exit into a market?Applying the concept of marginal costs, how would you, as a business owner, decide how much to produce?How does the impact of fixed costs change production decisions in the short run and in the long run? Refer to the average total-cost (ATC) model included in the textbook to demonstrate.In your responses, comment on at least two posts from your peers. Research and provide examples from the news of firms in perfectly competitive markets. Discuss with your peers how costs impact these firms’ profitability.To access your simulations, click the simulation link found in the module.To complete this assignment, review the Module Five Simulation Discussion Rubric.
