The feds can’t just “bill” the states. SCOTUS already ruled that the Feds cannot force the states to set up their own exchanges, so how can they “bill” them?
No, what is going to happen, as the costs of Obamacare start to pile up and raise deficits, is that Obama is going to be forced to seek to raise federal taxes.
