It will go the way of Dr Frankenstein’s lab, methinks.

California's approach to healthcare is unsurprisinigly constitutionally bass-ackwards.

Simply put, the states have never delegated to the federal government, via the Constitution, the specific power to regulate, tax and spend for public healthcare purposes. In other words, California, and the other states as well, uniquely have the constitutional authority, evidenced by the 10th Amendment (10A), to tax and spend for healthcare purposes. 10A-protected Massachusetts RomneyCare, for example, is constitutional while federal Obamacare is not constitutional.

In fact, Justice John Marshall had officially clarified that Congress cannot lay taxes in the name of state power issues, essentially any issue which Congress cannot justify under its constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers, healthcare not included in those powers.

"State inspection laws, health laws, and laws for regulating the internal commerce of a State, and those which respect turnpike roads, ferries, &c. are not within the power granted to Congress. (emphases added)" --Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.

"Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States." --Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.

What's going on is this. California's lawmakers evidently don't know the Constitution that they swear to protect and defend well enough be aware of the following. They don't understand that the Obamacare federal dollars that will be spent on California's illegal immigrants and citizens are arguably nothing more than state revenues which corrupt Congress stole from the state in the form of illegal federal taxes.

On the other hand, California's naive implementation of Obamacare can at least be thought of as a way for California to recover stolen state revenue for healthcare.
