They are also ineligible for Medicaid under most circumstances, making the law's expansion of the program fruitless for people without documents.

"all the better to take care of you my dear"...remember words like that?
This will just help Obamacare collapse under its own weight. Premiums will skyrocket, people will pay the penalty (which cannot be increased) instead of paying sky-high insurance rates, and the program will collapse.
How can forcing undocumented aliens to purchase insurance be a bad thing. We already have to treat them for free now. At least making them buy insurance should theoretically keep the cost down for the rest of us.
you mean millions of paid for voters .
