"The California state legislature has passed a measure that will use an Affordable Care Act (ACA) loophole called an “innovation waiver” to offer healthcare subsidies to illegal aliens.
Through the innovation waiver a state can apply to expand coverage as along as they pay the extra costs, which could be in the billions.

...Last month Gov. Brown sent out a press release saying that the state could not pay off the $430 billion it already owes and the governor’s office projects that California will have a $4 billion budget deficit by 2019..."
