D is the odd one out here. I mean, who wants the government poking around in their HMO's business every year? Not me!

Annual examinations? That's just the government trying to stick their nose where it doesn't belong. I'll go with D, the sane choice.

It's important to have some oversight, but maybe not to that extent.

A, B, and C all sound like reasonable regulations, but D just seems like bureaucratic overreach. I'm going with D as the exception.

I think the correct answer is D. The HMO Model Act doesn't require annual examinations of HMOs by state insurance departments. That's just too much oversight for my liking.
