I don't know much about politics, but seems like this is going to bankrupt the states/US even more than we already are?? Or will the additional taxes to citizens cover that?

They've got to pay for it somehow. That means more taxes or more borrowing from China and a bigger mortgage.

Immigrants sue state over exclusion from health care

The lawsuit charges that the state’s Connector Authority and its executive director, Jon Kingsdale, violated the immigrants’ right to equal protection under the state and federal constitutions when the administrators last year cut their health coverage through the Commonwealth Care program because of a tight state budget.

“You can’t violate people’s constitutional rights just because you don’t have the funds,’’ said Matt Selig, executive director of Health Law Advocates, a Boston-based public interest law firm that is assisting the immigrants in the suit.

Last year, about 26,000 immigrants lost their coverage after lawmakers eliminated $130 million in funding to help balance the state’s budget.

as with all new laws and programs... aclu style lawyers will find a way to force expansion... and coverage

so if the States want out.. they had better act now..
