FARRIS, Circuit Judge:
Phoenix Baptist Hospital and various Arizona health care providers appeal the dismissal of their Federal Tort Claims Act action, alleging that the Department of Health and Human Services was negligent in overseeing the administration of the experimental Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System. The district court held that it lacked subject matter jurisdiction because the federal government was protected by the discretionary function exeep tion to liability under the FTCA, 28 U.S.C. § 2680(a). We affirm.
